With CE-ETA: What does this mean?
At Gorter®, safety, sustainability, and performance are key. That’s why our roof hatches, from standard to extra-insulated and glazed, come with a CE marking and a European Technical Assessment (ETA).
What is CE-ETA?
The CE marking is mandatory in the EU and indicates that a product meets strict health, environmental, and safety regulations. When no harmonized European standard (hEN) is available, a product is assessed according to a European Assessment Document (EAD), which leads to a European Technical Assessment (ETA). Gorter® roof hatches have received this assessment, confirming their quality and performance.

Usage
Roof hatches can be used as escape hatches, but in most situations, they provide convenient and cost-effective access to roof terraces, cooling systems, lift machine rooms, solar collectors and other facilities on rooftops.
No thermal bridges
Convenient and
unbeatable insulation
The Gorter® roof hatches are designed with a fully thermally separated construction, meaning that the inner and outer sides of the hatch have no direct connection. This effectively prevents heat loss and keeps the insulation value consistently high throughout the entire construction.
For cold and warm climates
The unique structure provides unparalleled insulation properties, avoiding thermal bridges and significantly improving the building’s energy efficiency. Thanks to this advanced technology, Gorter® hatches offer excellent performance in both cold and warm climates, contributing to lower energy costs and a more sustainable building.
