The same surface area. Installed up to 45% faster.

July 14, 2026

How much time could you save on your next rooftop terrace project?

In this video, we compare two installation methods on exactly the same terrace area: a traditional rail system versus the A1 Smart-Ped. The result? The A1 Smart-Ped completed the installation up to 45% faster.

On larger rooftop projects, that reduction in installation time can translate into significant savings in labour, programme time, and overall project costs.

But speed isn’t the only advantage. The A1 Smart-Ped system also:

  • Helps prevent wind uplift of ceramic slabs.
  • Achieves an A1 fire rating, making it suitable for projects where fire performance is a critical design consideration.
  • Simplifies installation without compromising performance.

Whether you’re designing rooftop spaces or installing them, choosing the right support system can make a measurable difference from specification through to completion.
