Roof Terraces, Mann Island, Liverpool

25 Jul 2017
Case study

The owners of the apartment required a low-maintenance decking solution. A prevailing Westerly wind means that the terraces are regularly exposed to saltwater and rain, & not having to worry about regular cleaning and the threat of expensive repairs was a priority on this project. The 25-year warranty gave the client the necessary peace of mind.
In keeping with the exterior of the building, the owners required a sleek & modern finish for their terrace in a contemporary colour scheme.
The Pebble Grey ecodek® will slowly weather to a silvery colour, which will be perfectly suited to the building’s aesthetic.
A local installer retrofitted the ecodek® over existing concrete tiles. A low profile substructure was built to provide ventilation, & once the initial order for the materials had been placed, the whole project was completed in less than six weeks.
The client had this to say about the project: ‘We’re extremely happy with the finished installation, which means we no longer have to think about cleaning the terrace when we come back home to our Liverpool apartment. The colour really fits in with the style of the building & its surroundings, and we’re looking forward to seeing it weather over the next few years.’
