Rooftop Walkway
Kee Walk provides a safe, anti-slip, level walking surface for anyone who needs to access a roof in the course of their work. It provides a clear demarcation route which protects the roof from unnecessary damages and uniformly distributes the pedestrian load across the surface.

Roof Types
The product is designed for use with flat, rounded barrel and sloping roofs. The system uses steps and a traverse option allowing access to be created for virtually any roof configuration from 0 to 35 degrees.

Standards Compliant
Kee Walk is a modular system complying with the test requirements of EN 516:2006 (Prefabricated Accessories for Roofing – Installations for roof access – Walkways, treads and steps). Currently there are no North American requirements on this type of product.

Modular for Easy Install
Easy assembly utilizing standard components removes the need to have custom parts specifically manufactured off-site, making installation and specification very quick and simple.

Kee Walk Tread
Manufactured in a high grade nylon incorporating raised roughened sections, the treads are developed to comply with EN 516 (Prefabricated Accessories for Roofing - Installations for roof access - Walkways, treads and steps), exceeding the deflection criteria and slip resistance requirements of the standard. The treads, when supplied separately to build steps or walkway sections less than the standard pre-assembled sections, are quickly secured onto the aluminum bearer bars using two self drilling screws, fixed in the center holes. Additional fixing holes are provided on either side of the center holes. Their design incorporates spacers to ensure simple, correct spacing and alignment. Treads can be cut down if required to fit between points.

Traverse Walkway Configuration
Kee Walk is designed to make the task of building a walkway across a sloping roof a simplistic installation, using a standard set of components. A traverse section of walkway uses a standard Kee Walk section for the level walking surface which is mounted onto a sub-frame fixed to the roof. The two sections are joined with hinged brackets at the rear of the assembly and use the rotating arms at the front to level the walking surface.
