An access system from Gorter Hatches Pty Ltd comprising of an electric scissor stair and a roof hatch was recently installed in a high-end residential home in Sydney, Australia. These highly functional products are helping the homeowner gain easy access to their roof terrace.
Engineers from Gorter Hatches expertly concealed the ladder inside the hallway ceiling by cleverly ensuring the white underside of the scissor stairs matched the ceiling. With this installation, the owner is able to maximise the use of space on the home’s roof terrace without blocking the passage below with a permanent fixed ladder.
