Roof Hatch - Equipment Access

All BILCO roof hatches are ruggedly built for long, dependable service. Covers feature a box-type design to support a 40 lb/ft2 (195 kg/m2) live load. The capflashing, fully welded corners, EPDM rubber gasket, fiberglass cover insulation and rigid fiberboard curb insulation ensure weathertightness and energy efficiency. Every roof hatch is designed with the proper number of compression spring operating mechanisms to provide smooth, easy, one-hand operation. Compression spring tubes are made from an anti-corrosive composite material and all other hardware is zinc plated and chromate sealed for corrosion resistance. The effortless one-hand operation to the fully open or closed position provides a convenient way to install or remove large pieces of equipment from a building.
