Description

The Ascent™ aluminium walkway for flat roofs is a standardized modular system, allowing the design of anti-slip compliant walkways for access on all major roofing systems. A guardrail system can be added to either one or both sides of walkway. The Ascent walkway creates a level anti-slip walking surface which both protects the roof from foot traffic, and where a guardrail is fitted, it provides collective protection to workers.
