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:

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

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. For more information on why we use powder coat painting over galvanneal – read out article

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

The curb and cover now have R-6 polyisocyanurate insulation for increased energy efficiency
R-12 insulation is offered as an option

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
