The Benefits of Opting for Sliding Roof Access Hatches

In the debate between sliding and hinged roof access hatches, the sliding variety stands out for several compelling reasons. Constructed from robust materials such as aluminium, steel, or stainless steel, these hatches are equipped to handle the harsh Australian elements. AHSS recommends sliding roof access hatches for the following reasons:

• Their design allows for an unhindered opening, making it easier and safer to hoist materials onto the roof.
• The slide mechanism ensures that the hatch remains open, even in gusty conditions, preventing accidental closures.
• They are a cost-effective solution with minimal maintenance and no need for gas refills.
• These hatches are easy to install and feature a low-profile design that merges seamlessly with the roofline.
• They offer a distinct and unobstructed entryway.
• Built with a durable, welded framework to withstand the test of time.
• Suitable for a wide range of roofing styles and customisable for particular needs.
• Reliable operation is guaranteed, even in windy outdoor settings, thanks to a sturdy steel rail system that ensures both weather resistance and security.
• They come in both standard and customizable sizes, with a powder coating option for added durability.
• The hatches feature adjustable wheels, making them adaptable to various roof pitches.

It’s crucial to complement roof access hatches with appropriate safety measures such as walkways and guardrails. It’s advisable to steer clear of access hatches that don’t comply with critical structural load standards, such as those established by OSHA, to ensure the safety and integrity of the installation.
