Where the rooflight is to be used as a means of access on to a roof the hinged access hatch frame opens to 90° to provide a safe route for personnel and equipment, often avoiding the need to provide other external facilities. The access frame can be specified for mounting either direct to a builder’s curb with Em-Collar and T-Collar adaptors or in conjunction with Em-Curb upstands.

Standard features include a locking handle to secure the rooflight in the closed position and telescopic struts to hold the rooflight in the open position. The telescopic struts are either gas assisted hydraulic operation or have adjustable friction control and can be set according to dome weight and prevailing site conditions.

Access hatches are not recommended in sizes larger than 1160mm square or 860 x 1460mm rectangular.

Remote electric operation opening units are also available (refer to Whitesales).
