ROOF HATCHES - SECURITY SERIES

DESCRIPTION:

All Bilco roof hatches are ruggedly built for long, dependable service. Covers feature a box-type design to support a 40 lb/ft² (195 kg/m²) live load. The capflashing, fully welded corners, thermoplastic rubber gasketing, fiberglass cover insulation and rigid fiberboard curb insulation ensure weathertightness and energy efficiency. Every roof hatch is designed with the proper number of compression spring operating mechanisms to provide smooth, easy, one-hand operation. Compression spring tubes are made from an anti-corrosive composite material and all other hardware is zinc plated and chromate sealed for corrosion resistance. Security options include detention deadlocks, security glazing, gun ports and security grilles.

USES and APPLICATIONS:

Access to roof areas is critical to every building maintenance department as HVAC systems and other roof mounted equipment require frequent maintenance and service. Bilco Security Series Roof Hatches provide access to roof areas on buildings where security and break ins are a concern. Constructed of heavier materials, Bilco Security Series Roof Hatches are ideal for high security applications such as correctional facilities, banks, embassies and pharmaceutical buildings. Models are available for ladder, ship stair, or service stair access.

ASSEMBLY and INSTALLATION

Installation of Bilco roof hatches is simply a matter of placing the hatch over the roof opening and securing it to the roof deck through the holes provided in the base flange. The integral capflashing readily accepts roofing felts for built-up roofing applications, and Bilco's unique Posi-Flash™ flashing system simplifies installation in single-ply roofing applications.

MATERIALS and FINISHES

Bilco Security Series Roof Hatches are constructed of 3/16" (4.76 mm) steel and are supplied with an alkyd based red oxide primer finish.
