When is a floor hatch no longer just a floor hatch?

When the specification calls for:

🔴 Fire resistance
🔴 Seismic performance
🔴 RC4 security
🔴 Heavy loading

All within the same opening.

At that point, the challenge is less about selecting a product and more about understanding what has been tested, what can be engineered and what needs project-specific validation.

We’ve broken down the key considerations for specifiers working with high-performance floor access systems.

Spec Tuesday: What makes a retrofit roof hatch work?

The obvious benefit is keeping the existing upstand.

The technical challenge is making sure the new hatch still delivers the performance expected from a modern roof access system.

The SRHP/RF is manufactured to suit the existing opening, with:

➡️Thermally broken construction
➡️75mm PIR insulation
➡️0.26 W/m²K thermal performance
➡️85° gas-spring assisted opening
➡️IPX6 water ingress testing
➡️IP6X dust ingress testing
➡️Class A7 weathertightness

So retrofit doesn’t have to mean compromise.

It can simply mean upgrading the hatch without unnecessarily rebuilding the roof around it.

Got an unusual access requirement? We can adapt.

A client approached us with an existing high upstand and stepped access, so we produced a visual example showing how our SureGuard system could adapt to their setup.

Rather than forcing a standard solution, we can modify our products to meet the project's requirements.

A simple way to show what’s possible before anything goes into production.

Smoke ventilation is a key requirement for escape stairwells in many residential and commercial buildings over 11 metres.

Surespan AOV smoke vents are tested to BS EN 12101-2 and can be integrated with building management systems and fire detection panels.

We supply across the UK with the technical documentation required to support Building Control submissions.

A good project is about more than supplying the right product.

It’s about being easy to work with, keeping things moving and being there when it matters.

We were really pleased to receive this feedback from Hensel Phelps after working together on a project in Hawaii.

A great result for the team, and a reminder that the relationships we build along the way matter as much as the end product.

“It has truly been a pleasure working with you on this project. I sincerely appreciate the coordination, support, and partnership you have provided throughout my time with the team, and I hope to have the opportunity to work with each of you again on future projects.”
