Installation: Easier and More Affordable than a Roof House or Roof access structure

Traditionally, roof access is often realized through a roof house, an additional rooftop structure with a door. However, adding such a floor can make permits more complex and change the building's appearance.

 

Have you ever thought about a roof hatch? With this, you can achieve roof access without adding an extra floor. A roof hatch is easy to integrate into both existing and new buildings, offers excellent insulation, and preserves the original appearance of the building.
