Boxed Glazed Roof Access - Circle Hospital Bath

Project:

Architects Foster + Partners approached Surespan to design and manufacture two roof hatches for Circle Hospital Bath – the new centre of clinical excellence due to open in late 2009.

Product:

The huge single-leaf glazed roof hatches are electrically operated by push button switches, one hatch incorporating a side door.

The high spec glazed lid is supported by heavy-duty aluminium hinges and features an integral ‘wrap over’ edge, incorporating double unbroken EPDM seals.

The hatches offer a high level of thermal insulation against heat loss and condensation, together with excellent sound absorption properties.
