Recreate your City Break with a Rooftop Bar

In many cities around the world, the rooftop bar offers a garden of seclusion away from the hustle-bustle of the streets and above the worst of the traffic fumes. Sitting in a rooftop bar, the holidaymaker can enjoy a sophisticated cocktail in good company and often the elevated position offers a stunning view of the host city. Back home in England, such elegance can seem a distant memory, but you could relive the experience in your own home if you create yourself a rooftop bar.

The Right Kind of Roof

You will need a properly installed roof terrace or balcony for your rooftop bar. Just because a roof is flat, does not mean that it can bear the weight of furniture and people that you will need to recreate the ambience of a rooftop bar. All of our roof terraces are constructed from high-performance GRP fibreglass or a three-layer felt system. These systems are strong enough to support the furniture and the people. 

The Right Kind of Railings

Safety first! You will want to ensure that there is no danger of anybody falling off your roof. Especially if they are unsteady on their feet for any reason. We can install a sturdy rail around your roof terrace that will let everybody use the roof safely.

The Right Kind of Walkway

We can put down anti-slip tiles that will give the soles of your shoes (and those of your guests’ shoes) extra purchase when walking around on your roof terrace. Handy if you’ve had one too many Long Island Iced Teas.

The Right kind of Weather

The one thing we can’t guarantee and possibly the reason why year-round rooftop bars aren’t quite so popular in this country as in other parts of the world. A sturdy patio umbrella may well be a wise investment for your rooftop bar. 

To turn your flat roof into an accessible roof terrace that can be put to all sorts of uses, contact us about installing a GRP system. You can call us on 01603 418818 for a free no-obligation roof survey or fill out the booking form on our website.
