The Zip Panel Roof Walkway System is a vital component in modern industrial and commercial buildings, providing safe roof access for maintenance, repairs, and facility inspections. By utilizing non-penetrative fastening technology specifically for standing seam roofs, this system prevents damage to the roofing membrane and ensures uniform load distribution.
Designed with anti-slip treads and an adjustable inclination of 0° to 35°, the Zip Panel walkway is suitable for flat, pitched, and curved roof profiles. This system is primarily utilized in sectors such as automotive manufacturing, petrochemical plants, commercial centers, warehouses, and office buildings that require frequent access to rooftop equipment.
Key Advantages of the Zip Panel Roof Walkway System:
Roof Integrity: The non-penetrative fastening system prevents water leakage and protects the insulation layer, maintaining the roof’s watertight performance.
Uniform Load Distribution: The walkway structure distributes pedestrian weight over a wider surface area, preventing deformation or denting of the roofing panels.
High Safety Standards: Featuring DIN 51130 (Class R13) anti-slip treads, the system ensures maximum safety even in rainy or snowy conditions.
Flexibility: On-site adjustable inclination makes the system suitable for flat, pitched, and curved (arched) roof profiles.
Rapid Installation: Pre-assembled modules significantly reduce on-site installation time by up to 60%.
Superior Durability: Constructed from corrosion-resistant materials (anodized aluminum or hot-dip galvanized steel) to ensure a service life of 25+ years.
Standard Compliance: Fully compliant with OSHA, EN 516, and Part 13 of the Iranian National Building Regulations.
Maintenance Cost Efficiency: Minimizes long-term repair costs by preventing damage caused by foot traffic on the roof.

Modules are supplied as pre-assembled sections to meet the requirements of various roof configurations. Walkway systems can be installed using specifically designed clamps onto Zip Panel profiles. These specialized clamps allow for a secure, permanent installation on virtually any standing seam profile. The non-penetrative fastening system ensures that the roof’s structural integrity is fully maintained.
Additionally, the stairs are equipped with adjustable hinges, enabling the system to accommodate roof slopes ranging from 0° to 35°. Installers can easily adjust the angle by removing the hinge bolt, setting the desired pitch, and re-inserting the bolt, without the need for any additional components.
