The Solution
As terraces need to be designed with access to the roof below for inspection, maintenance, servicing and repair, it is not possible to permanently fix decking or tiles into place with adhesives or mastic, and fixings such as bolts and screws are unsightly.
At Raaft®, we have solved this problem by cutting discreet grooves into the edges of our porcelain decking and porcelain tiles. Our design-protected stainless steel and Nylon 12 RP anti-uplift clips clip into this groove to unobtrusively hold the decking or tiles into position on our terrace system with little to no visibility.
When access is required to the space below the terrace, the clips can be easily unfastened to allow removal of the decking or tile, but they are sufficient to hold the terrace intact when subjected to typical UK windspeeds.
