ROOF HATCHES SINCE 1965 NOW WITH R-20 INSULATED ROOF HATCHES! Over 45 years of proven performance in Standard & Custom Designed Hatches
ROOF HATCHES Better by design LEXCOR COMPANY PROFILE Lexcor was incorporated in 1960 to develop and market new commercial roofing accessory products. In 1965 Lexcor diversified into the production of roof access hatches and vents and later into acrylic skylights. Lexcor is represented by knowledgeable agents or distributors around the country. We support and are represented in various construction and trade associations. Lexcor continually strives to remain at the technological forefront in our industry. The knowledge and experience gained in the past has resulted in the quality products described in this brochure. Though we have tried to be as comprehensive as possible, specifiers are encouraged to discuss their hatch or vent requirements with a Lexcor representative prior to making a selection. CONSIDER THESE STANDARD FEATURES IN ALL OF OUR ROOF HATCHES HEAVY GAUGE CONSTRUCTION Lexcor hatches are built to withstand live loads up to 40 lbs (18 kg) per square foot. CHOICE OF METAL - Hatches can be fabricated from galvanized steel (coated in a grey primer paint), mill finish aluminum, stainless steel or copper. HEAVY DUTY HARDWARE - Cadmium plated pintle hinges and door latches. EASY TO INSTALL - Pre-punched holes in the curb flange allow for quick fastening to the roof deck. INSULATED - When we first started making hatches 45 years ago, we insulated them similar to the roofs of that day. Now, times have changed and most office roofs are being insulated to at least an R-20. Lexcor is the first company to offer roof hatches fully insulated to this level. HOLD OPEN ARMS - Doors can be locked in an open position to allow for safe egress and ingress. WEATHERTIGHT - Door lids are sealed with a durable neoprene gasket. INSIDE & OUTSIDE LATCH RELEASES - Internal latch includes a padlock hasp for locking. Outer padlock hasp is optional.
