272 Gunnersbury Avenue is a refurbished office building in Chiswick, West London. As part of the wider improvement works, the building’s communal and amenity spaces were upgraded to include a landscaped roof terrace, creating a high-quality outdoor area for occupiers.
MyDek worked with London Seamless Flat Roofing Ltd to provide a durable, non-combustible decking solution for the roof terrace.
A practical roof-terrace solution
Luxura Deck 200 in Hickory was selected for the terrace, combining the warm appearance of timber with A1 fire performance. Its through-colour mineral-composite construction provides a robust finish suited to a busy external amenity space, while helping to create a more welcoming setting at roof level.
The decking was installed on MyDek’s BoxRail support system. Designed for accuracy and flexibility, BoxRail provides a stable substructure for the deck boards while accommodating the build-up and detailing required on roof-terrace projects.
Specific Challenges solved
As part of the wider refurbishment, the decking needed to complement the upgraded amenity design and accommodate the varying heights of a tapered insulation scheme.
MyDek’s BoxRail and Cleat Support System allowed adjustment at each support position to achieve the required finished decking level above the sloping roof build-up. The rails could also be orientated parallel or perpendicular to the slope, giving installers flexibility when setting out the deck.
Working closely with London Seamless Flat Roofing Ltd, MyDek supplied Luxura decking in Hickory with the BoxRail substructure, creating a durable, non-combustible terrace with a warm timber appearance for the building’s occupiers to enjoy.
