WalkSafe® Walkway
|
Eurosafe Solutions Ltd is an approved installer of the WalkSafe® walkway system. Made from PVCu components, WalkSafe® systems are lightweight, easily cleaned, and rot free. The WalkSafe® walkway system does not penetrate the roof as penetrating the roof covering can compromise the buildings U-value via thermal bridging.
WalkSafe® walkway has one advantage over other material for walkway systems. Steel, aluminium, and glass reinforced plastic walkway panels all require a structural attachment to the building. In many cases, the purpose of going onto the roof is for maintenance or repairs, and penetrating the roof using these walkways is counter-productive, as this can potentially increase the number of leaks into a building.
The WalkSafe® walkway manufacturer, Latchways PLC, has created bespoke systems for roof sheets by working together with some the following roofing manufacturers:
- Corus Building Systems
- Rigidal
- Euroclad
- Ash & Lacy
- Kingspan
- Keybemo
- SpeedDeck
- Protan
- Sika-Trocal

The WalkSafe ® system was originally developed to replace timber duckboard type walkways which has a limited life-span, is prone to rotting when regularly submersed in water, as well as being hazardously slippery when wet. The PVCu walkway was designed to be either installed to a gutter line or to raise the pedestrian out of standing water on a flat roof. The WalkSafe ® system can be made in bespoke styles to fit all valley and half valley gutters, and has been developed to fit the following types of roof sheet:
- Standing Seam
- Membrane (Protan, Trocal, Bitumen)
- Metal profiles (Composite, Built Up, Secret Fix)
- Traditional (Slate, Tile, Lead, Copper, Cement)
The WalkSafe® system has been awarded the British Board of Agrement Certificate and carries a fire performance rating of Class 1Y to BS476: part 7: 1987.
WalkSafe® is manufactured using recycled materials and is available in a range of colours; brown, grey or white.
