The Shaftesbury Centre and The Bear Church in Deptford are being transformed into a vibrant local hub. This inspiring mixed-use development provides a permanent sanctuary for the church, alongside modern community spaces and affordable housing for Lewisham Council. With Integration handling the structural and civil engineering, the design heavily prioritises safety and sustainability. To meet these stringent requirements, the project team selected a specialised fire-rated model from Gorter's extensive range of roof hatches, seamlessly paired with a versatile ladder.
Crucial fire resistance for mixed-use buildings
In developments where residential units and public venues share the same footprint, fire safety simply cannot be compromised. The specified fire-rated RHTEI roof hatch acts as an impenetrable, EI120 certified barrier against flames. Beyond its critical fire-stopping capabilities, this highly engineered roof access hatch features a fully thermally broken curb and cover. This guarantees exceptional insulation and prevents thermal bridging, perfectly aligning with the building's sustainable goals.
Smart and space-saving rooftop access
Whether it is for inspecting HVAC installations or ensuring safe roof access for solar panel maintenance, facility managers need a dependable route to the top. By pairing the hatch with a hooking ladder, the architects opted for maximum spatial flexibility. The ladder is securely hooked into place when access is required and easily stored away afterwards, ensuring the valuable floor space inside the community centre is never permanently obstructed. Additionally, the entire setup is TÜV NORD certified for complete peace of mind.
