The former industrial landscape of Vauxhall is being completely redefined by Oval Village. Spearheaded by the acclaimed Berkeley Group, this immense regeneration initiative introduces over 1,300 modern homes, interwoven with commercial hubs and lush public parks. For the construction of the prominent Blocks A, B, and G, delivering uncompromising quality and safety was essential. The developers turned to Gorter's premium collection of roof hatches. To meet the rigorous building codes of this London mega-project, six fire-rated RHTEI roof hatches were installed.

Certified fire protection and thermal efficiency

In densely populated, mixed-use environments like Montford Place, adhering to strict fire safety regulations is non-negotiable. The RHTEI flat roof access hatch serves as a robust, certified barrier against the spread of fire. Alongside this critical protective function, the hatch features a fully thermally broken curb and cover. This advanced construction ensures maximum insulation and prevents condensation, contributing significantly to the development’s overall energy efficiency.

Secure access for rooftop maintenance

Expansive residential blocks utilize their flat roofs to house crucial building services. Facility management teams need a dependable and safe route to the top, especially when conducting routine checks or requiring roof access for solar panel maintenance. While other areas of a modern development might feature a glazed flat roof window to maximize daylight, the absolute priority for Blocks A, B, and G was heavy-duty, fire-rated utility access. Built to endure extreme conditions and backed by a CE marking, these hatches guarantee the highest level of safety for maintenance personnel.
