Why Use Highly Durable Roof Access Ladders?

August 21, 2017
Not all the roofs have access to them with a prominent in-house staircase. Industrial buildings, commercial ones have roofs which are generally kept secluded from the building, and generally no in-house stairway leads to the roofs. In such conditions, if you want access to the roof, one of the simplest and the best solutions is to get a roof ladder installed. There are many reasons which have made roof ladders highly popular worldwide.

# Why the Roof Ladders Are Preferred?

  • They are economical, and come in a much low budget than conventional concrete made in-house stairways.
  • If you have to build a staircase in wood or concrete, or metal, you will have to make and break certain parts of the old construction, which may not be feasible in case of commercial buildings for a many reason. Sometimes, you may not get permit, while sometimes the age and plan of the building may be the obstacles. In such cases, the roof ladders which can be installed as an external snap-on part to the building serves as an excellent solution to the requirements.
  • They are made of metal, with chemical treatment, or powder coating, or simple paint, which are designed in such a way that they last for years. Normally, galvanized metal sheets are used in the making, thus making the structures rust and weathering resistant, and also resist damage from constant exposure to the sun.
  • The design of the roof access ladders is slip resistant with the enough casing surrounding the ladder to support the torso inside, and thus give enough surfaces and rods at all sides for easy and instant gripping. This makes the structures quite safe to use.
  • They come in various designs to suit the purpose of the property or business owner. Some ladders are foldable, while some come with casings, and so on.
  • The modern-day ladders are all modular designs, which can be sent to the construction site in small packages, and the installed by joining the parts with each other to make the whole ladder very quickly.
  • The modern and modular metal roof ladders are made to comply with all industrial standards.
  • You can custom order the ladder with dimensions and special specifications
  • They really don’t demand much maintenance once installed, and continue to serve for years.
  • If you want to shift the ladder’s position to elsewhere, you may do so without having to break the parts. The easy to install and dismantle ladder parts can be fitted elsewhere in the same way.

# It Adds an External and Extra Access Way to The Roof 

A sudden plan or requirement to get a roof access in a building may be fulfilled quite easily with the highly durable roof access ladders. Places like warehouses, roofs of commercial buildings containing solar panels, HVAC systems, or buildings with roof installed ducted heaters etc; all of these need access to the roof from an external source.

A big plus point of ladder usage to access roofs is that, you avoid using stairs from inside the building which saves lives in crises when there is an accidental fire, gas leak, water flooding etc, or other security breaches, that demands an external way to access the roof. Sometimes, buildings also get an external ladder installed even when there is an internal stairway access to the roof. This adds to the security and accessibility in many cases, which are accident prone industrial zones.

Many homes get this kind of ladder installed to access the tiled roof, or to access the water tank at the top of the roof, which even the home staircase cannot access for lack of supportive architecture.
