Access hatches for roofs and ceilings

Roof access hatches provide safe and efficient access to roofs when carefully designed and integrated with a height safety system. Some of the key considerations are;

Easy open ‘one hand’ mechanism for users on a ladder
Single-handed locking system
Sliding hatches are ergonomically easier to open and close than hinged hatches – even those assisted with struts. Wheels on the runners can be adjusted to suit variable roof pitches
Locks easily incorporated into existing alarm systems and keying
Robust and trafficable insulated zinc/aluminium coated steel outer lid
Sliding hatches that won’t slam shut in the wind eliminate maintenance associated with gas struts
Custom design for special needs
Designed to ensure full compliance with Australian Standards, OHS legislation & State regulations.

No leaks

Hatches should be are installed by registered plumbers to ensure they are watertight.

Match with hand grabs for safety

Hand grabs incorporated into guardrails around a hatch not only make it easier to move between the hatch and the roof but safer too – all while providing a barrier to prevent falls into the void of an open hatch.
