FAQs

What are roof hatches?

They provide safe and convenient access to roof areas by means of an interior ladder, ship stair, or service stair. They also provide a way to get equipment, or materials onto or off of a roof.

How do people access roof hatches?

They are commonly accessed via stairways or ladders from inside the building. Additionally, safety rails or safety ladders are often installed on the exterior of the hatch to ensure safe and comfortable passage into and out of the opening.

Are roof hatches commonly installed at the time of construction or afterward?

The bulk of installations occurs at the time of construction or to replace an existing hatch that was damaged. Installing them after construction is possible.

Who specifies the hatch to be used?

Generally, an architect will specify the size and/or style of the hatch in the designs. It will then be left up to the general contractor or roofing subcontractor to source the hatch as part of their bid.

Are roof hatches always used on roofs?

No, they can be used on any surface where a portal is needed. While most are used on roofs, they have also been used as floor hatches to provide an entry and exit for a sublevel.

Are roof hatches used only in commercial construction?

No. While they are used primarily in commercial construction, designers of residential buildings use them as points of egress to roof decks and gardens, making it easy for roof gardeners or amateur astronomers to get their supplies and equipment up to the roof safely and easily.

Additionally, in flood-prone areas, roof hatches are being installed to provide a safe way to exit to the roof, minimizing damage to the roof or residents.
