Why is it worth choosing to install a full roof hatch? This is a great question that we will answer in this article by outlining the benefits of using it.
A full roof hatch provides safe access to a flat roof, allowing easy maintenance work or using the roof space as a terrace.
In the past, fixed ladders placed in metal cages outside buildings were often used to gain access to the roofs of commercial and industrial buildings. Such a solution not only adversely affected the aesthetics of the facility, but also required tiring climbing from the ground level.
The key advantage of a full roof hatch is the elimination of the need to climb multiple floors. Thanks to the installation of the hatch, access to the roof is from inside the building, which allows the existing stairs to be used to reach the top floor. Then, passing through the roof hatch only requires a height of 2.5 to 3 meters, which can be done quickly and safely using a ladder or stairs.
An additional advantage is the fact that the installation of a full roof hatch is much cheaper than the installation of an external ladder in a cage, which makes it not only a practical, but also an economical choice.

Or maybe a skylight with a hatch function?
As an alternative to a full roof hatch, it is possible to create access to the roof through a skylight in the roof. The access point on a flat roof is typically located at the highest point of the building, making it an area where warm air naturally directs, making it the warmest point.
When choosing a polycarbonate skylight with a hatch function as an access method, you should take into account a high risk of heat loss. The top of a roof, even a flat roof, being a large open space, can quickly fill with warm air from the lower levels of the building, leading to a significant loss of energy by heating this empty space.
If you decide to install a skylight, it is crucial to pay attention to its insulating properties. For example, a skylight with four walls can have a heat transfer coefficient (U-value) of 1.4, while a flat roof hatch has a U-value of 0.21, which means almost seven times better insulation.
Easy and quick installation
A full roof hatch, like a skylight, is characterized by simplicity and speed of installation. It is delivered fully assembled, eliminating the need to assemble any components. Equipped with a special mounting flange, it allows direct and easy attachment to the roof structure. Of course, we recommend our roof installation services if necessary.

Reduce heat loss
The newly designed full roof hatch of the Gulajski company contains an element with low thermal conductivity, located between the inner and outer layers of the cover and frame, which is aimed at limiting heat transfer. In addition, these elements, in addition to their thermal function, reduce vibrations, which translates into better acoustic insulation against external noise. The full manhole is also equipped with a layer of polyisocyanurate insulation, used in both the cover and the frame, which guarantees high energy efficiency. In addition, a special cover seal ensures that air leakage is minimized.
