Our manually operated Skyhatch uses a combination of gas struts and spring assisted opening mechanisms designed to make the unit easier to open and remain stable in the open position, without causing too much effort when closing the unit. It features a twin locking mechanism for increased security and three staged silicone bubble and blade seals for exceptional air tightness and thermal performance. The electrically operated Skyhatch provides the same basic function as the manual, but it can also be partially opened to serve as a ventilation unit too. Operated from a wall switch supplied, the user can simply press a button and the unit will open out to a maximum 80° providing a safe and reliable means of accessing valuable roof space.
