FAQ
How can I measure roof hatches?
Start with measuring the “rough opening”, i.e., the inside curb-to-curb dimensions to determine the size of the hatch. Get readings of the width (side-to-side) and length (front-to-back) of the rough opening. If needed, note the curb height and flange size for proper mounting. For example, a 36×30 hatch fits a 36" × 30" inside opening.
