An industrial warehouse in Krum, TX, required a solution for a damaged roof hatch that was no longer functioning properly. The inoperable roof hatch didn’t close or seal as intended, putting rooftop access and building security at risk. The building owner needed a cost-effective solution that minimized disruption while restoring safe, reliable rooftop access.

Cardinal Roofing selected a Babcock-Davis Retrofit roof hatch to replace the damaged hatch. The retrofit design allowed the new hatch to be installed directly onto the existing curb, eliminating the need for curb replacement and preserving the existing roofing membrane. The solution also maintained compatibility with the existing safety rail, avoiding additional modifications and reducing installation time.

The Retrofit roof hatch provided a fast, efficient upgrade that restored proper operation and weathertight performance without the expense and disruption of a full curb replacement. By utilizing the existing curb infrastructure, the project was completed with minimal impact to the building and roofing system. The streamlined installation process delivered immediate value to the contractor, who commented that the "install was fast and easy."
