Roof Hatches

Roof Hatches are quite similar to roof vents, in the sense that they are both types of skylight openings. However, whilst roof vents only open a small about for ventilation purposes, a roof hatch opens to a 90 degree angle, meaning that this roof window is completely open. This is achieved by using specialised hinges, thereby allowing the roof hatch to open fully.

These hatches are mostly used in large buildings and commercial properties where access to the roof is needed. A maintenance contractor, or other professional, is then able to access the roof easily to perform maintenance tasks. Of course, safety is a must if you want to use a roof hatch for this purpose and Howells will be able to give you advice about what requirements should be fulfilled in order to make the installation safe. It is possible to add supports, such as handrails, to the roof hatch for added security and safety.

When you come to Howells Patent Glazing for your roof hatch it can be made to your exact requirements. You can customise the design, the size and the colour of the aluminium frame so that you will receive a finished product that meets your exact requirements. To find out more about our range, please take a look around our website where you will be able to see pictures of our previous projects.

After manufacturing your roof hatch, we are then able to install it in your building to a high standard. We will involve you at every step of the way, so that all our work will be carried out to your specifications.
