Hatches for roof access - Bilco UK Ltd
Hatches supplied by Bilco are providing access to roofs of a new waterside development of apartments and townhouses in Glasgow.
The external finishes combine render, timber laminate, brick cladding and red brick and all the homes have aluminium rooms. Topping them all are Bilco hatches which provide access to the roof for future maintenance not just for the immediate surface, but also of the roof-mounted aerials and satellite dishes.
The company has supplied a total of 24 NB50 hatches manufactured in 2.3mm thick aluminium to match the roofing and fitted with compression springs which make them easy to open. They are also fitted with automatic hold-open arms which ensure the hatches cannot be blown closed.
