The Bilco Company releases new Architectural Products Catalog

Words: Jennifer MorrellThe Bilco Company has released its 2012 Architectural Products Catalog, detailing the company’s line of roof hatches, automatic fire vents, floor, vault and sidewalk doors and safety products for the commercial markets.

The Architectural Products Catalog features information on Bilco’s new fall protection grating system, which provides a permanent means of fall protection for the company’s line of floor access doors. The system meets OSHA standard 29 CFR 1910.23 requirements and is available as a factory installed option or in retrofit kits for field installation.

Bilco’s new fall protection system is constructed of light-weight aluminum grating with type 316 stainless steel hardware for corrosion resistance. The grating panel is supplied with a safety yellow powder coat finish, making it more durable, attractive, and extremely scratch-resistant. The system also features an automatic hold-open device that secures each panel in the full 90O position, maximizing the door’s usable access area.

The catalog is available free of charge by calling 800-366-6530 or e-mailing commercial@bilco.com.
