A commercial refurbishment project at Fitzroy Street required transforming two rooftop terraces into versatile breakout spaces for office tenants. These spaces needed to provide a bar area within a stylish outdoor venue, capable of withstanding high foot traffic and heavy loads, including planters.
The Challenge:
The challenge included addressing complex height build-ups, working with varied substrates (insulation and metal grating), and delivering a solution that met strict safety and performance standards.
The Solution: TerraSmart® Rail System
RYNO’s TerraSmart® Rail System was specified as the ideal solution for the Fitzroy Street terraces. With its strong aluminium, lattice framework and Euroclass A1 fire rating, the system provided the durability, adaptability, and safety required for a high-performance outdoor space.
Key Benefits of the TerraSmart® Rail System:

- Robust Support for Heavy Loads: Engineered to handle additional weight, such as planters, ensuring structural integrity and stability.
- Adaptability to Substrates: Seamlessly integrates with multiple substrates, from insulation to metal grating, offering flexible installation options.
- Efficient Drainage: Designed to allow rapid water drainage through the paving surface, ideal for outdoor spaces exposed to the elements.
- Longevity: Backed by a 30-year warranty and 60-year design life, ensuring a lasting investment.
