VETUS expands range

The VETUS FGHF series of ventilation hatches The VETUS FGHF series of ventilation hatches

VETUS is expanding its portfolio of glazing products with new portlights, ventilation hatches, and roller blind and fly screens.

Adding to the selection of VETUS portholes, the new PL series offers boat owners a portlight featuring a very shallow satin-black powder coated aluminium edge with 10mm thick ‘dark smoke’ tinted acrylic. The clamping mechanism with internal trim is suitable for 2 to 20mm wall thicknesses, ensuring an extremely low profile portlight.

VETUS PL Series portlights

The FGHF series of ventilation hatches feature new flush-mounted handles, stays and hinges in the acrylic for a perfectly flat surface.

The FGHF hatches are engineered to ensure a smooth transition between hatch and deck, but the new models have the added advantage of no protruding components for reduced wind noise and easy cleaning.

Suitable for category A, area II positions with the VETUS clamps closing the hatch tightly, the four models of the FGHF Series are engineered for cut-outs with a corner radius of 43mm.

Developed specifically for escape and ventilation deck hatches, the updated models feature new components including altered hooks for durability, a stronger and easy to reach adjustable spring to reset the tension of the screen and an improved guiding system for smooth operation.
