Custom Floating PVC Deck on Toronto Rooftop Terrace
The original rooftop deck had caused membrane damage due to poor installation. To avoid further complications, we constructed a floating frame system that did not penetrate the repaired roof.
Matching the height of the new deck to the existing stone tile required precision framing. Material logistics also posed a challenge, as everything had to be crane-lifted to the third floor, requiring detailed coordination and timing.
Key Features & Design Elements

- Floating Frame SystemBuilt with 12" OC joists to preserve the roof membrane.
- Roof Drain Access PanelsCustom panels for easy access to rooftop drainage.
- Crane Material DeliveryAll materials lifted to the third floor by crane.

Project Outcome
The rooftop and rear terraces were transformed into safe, stylish, and sun-friendly spaces. The new Azek decking not only looks modern but also remains comfortable underfoot even in full sun. With careful engineering and a focus on long-term durability, the result is a low-maintenance, high-performance deck that integrates seamlessly with the home’s architecture.
