Walkway on roofs
On all buildings, the roof step/roof ladder and/or walkway shall always serve as an access route to devices on the roof requiring servicing and maintenance. This is if the roof pitch is greater than 6 degrees or the roof is made of a slippery surface layer Even at low inclines, a roof may be slippery when one walks on it. Slippery materials particularly include stainless steel sheet metal, aluzinc and felt roofs. Snow, frost and ice, damp surfaces or leaves substantially lower the friction between shoes and the walking surface. If devices are to be reached in these situations, a walkway must be in place. and vertical drop Even at low inclines, a roof may be slippery when one walks on it.

Horizontal access route
A walkway is primarily intended for horizontal installation.
On roof pitches of up to 15 degrees, walkways are also used in the direction of the roof pitch.
Access route in the direction of the roof pitch
The roof ladder shall be used as a first resort
Individual roof steps
Individual roof steps can be used on roofs where the façade height is 4 metres or less, and where the pitch is a maximum of 45 degrees.
