Roof decks aren’t just an attractive addition to your humble home — but they can also safeguard you from fire and ridiculously high energy costs.
Decks provide incredible fire resistance. They also have high-quality thermal performance and they provide your roofing system structural support. If you plan to have a roof garden, it can improve the roof’s thermal resistance, reducing your cooling and heating costs.
The additional living space is one of the major advantages of having a rooftop deck. No need to worry about expanding your patio — you can have a lovely outdoor space a couple of feet above the ground.
Go ahead and use it for entertainment and socializing purposes. Put a few outdoor furniture pieces in, a pergola or a patio umbrella, string lights, and enjoy the scenery with your family and friends.
If your space, budget, and roof material capacity allows, you might want to put a pool in there too.
Whether you live in a bustling concrete jungle or peaceful countryside, the views from above are always breathtaking. Feast your eyes on your surroundings from a bird’s eye view, as well as the faraway sights lined up on the horizon while breathing in fresh, cool air.
It’s a lovely place to have your morning coffee and your late-night beers in.
Needless to say, a fully-furnished and plant-filled deck on your roof can add personality to your house. It can make your home stand out in your residential area and can give your neighbors something to look up to…literally.
