How Rooftop Deck Stairs Are Built | Episode 23

In this episode we take a closer look at how builders design access to a rooftop deck. On small urban lots like many homes in Vancouver, rooftop decks are often accessed by a compact stair system built off the second floor. But before those stairs are installed, the framing, waterproofing, and structural details must be planned very carefully. We walk through how rooftop deck stairs are prepared during the framing stage, how the landing areas are framed, and why waterproofing membranes must be installed before any stair structure is added. You will also see how builders plan the torch-on membrane system that protects the rooftop deck from water, and why prefabricated metal stairs are typically installed only after the entire deck has been waterproofed and tested. Topics covered in this episode: How rooftop deck stairs are framed Why rooftop deck access must be carefully planned How torch-on membranes waterproof rooftop decks Why stair systems are prefabricated off site How curbs and landings protect the waterproofing system How builders manage materials and workspace on rooftop framing 0:00 Intro 0:13 Access to Rooftop Deck and Rooftop Deck plans 2:53 Efficient setup for having small spaces for material moving forward 3:40 Outro As the framing progresses, the rooftop deck begins to take shape and you can start to see how the final space will function once the waterproofing, stairs, and finishing materials are installed. This video is part of a full home construction series following the entire build from foundation to rooftop deck.
