No, the SkyHatch Rooflight is for irregular, maintenance access therefore a ladder needs to be used - Installing a staircase underneath for access will be against Building Regulations.
We offer a range of regular access rooflights; The SkyDoor Rooflight or our stylish Box Rooflights.
We offer two operations; Manual or Electric. The Manual SkyHatch is opened using two handles mounted on the lid frame, with the opening assisted by gas struts and spring assisted opening mechanisms.
