Dur-Red Announces More Energy-Efficient and Durable Roof Hatch
The RHU Series of Dur-Red Roof Hatches is Now More Energy-Efficient and Durable than Before
We have recently upgraded our RHU and RHUV series roof hatches with new material, paint and insulation - Here are the details:
Higher Quality Construction
- The material for the RHUG hatch has been upgraded to galvanneal steel which is harder and more scratch-resistant than galvanized steel
- Galvanneal steel does not require extensive pre-treatment before painting
Higher Quality Factory Finish
- Both galvanneal and aluminum hatches are now factory-painted with more environmentally friendly powder coat paint, providing a thicker, more complete, and durable coating
- No need for painting hatches in the field with uneven results - the powder coating process gives total coverage, protecting the hatch inside and out for years of durable service
- When two corrosion protection systems are combined such as zinc-coated steel and powder coat paint, this is called a “Duplex System”. The paint protects the underlying zinc coating, and the zinc coating protects the steel, providing better protection
More Environmentally Friendly
- The powder coat paint process eliminates volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that were used to apply our previous solvent-based primers, providing a more environmentally friendly product
- Standard finishes are gray powder coat on steel and silver textured powder coat on aluminum with optional colors available
Better Insulation Value
- The curb and cover now have R-6 polyisocyanurate insulation for increased energy efficiency
- R-12 insulation is offered as an option
More Options
- Dur-red is offering more curb options including double wall, optional heights, curb-less "All-but-Curb", and curb-mount
- Stainless hardware for greater corrosion-resistance
- Safety railing ready for bolt-on RSHWB
- Meet OSHA 1910.29 standards with our optional safety railing that includes a self-closing gate to protect the rooftop opening
- Double clear and white dome options
- Single or double polycarbonate dome options
Better Documentation
- Submittals that are always up to date
- Improved installation instructions
- 3-part guide specifications
