In the Netherlands, a new masterpiece has been put on the map: the renewed RHT roof hatch of Gorter®. Although the company has only existed for nearly 100 years, these roof hatches could perhaps be seen as a symbol of national pride comparable to the famous Delfts Blue.

Indestructible construction, Made in Holland
