Unlike traditional tip-up hatches, Slidewise™ Roof Hatch slides open horizontally, making it unaffected by wind gusts and allowing personnel to exit/enter in any weather without panel slamming open or closed. Hatch features corrosion-resistant aluminum construction, stainless steel hardware, and full-perimeter EPDM weather seal for draft and weather control. Low-profile product can be installed on new construction or to existing curbs without need to modify existing roofing material.
