Classic Floor Hatches – Where Function Meets Design

Elkington’s Classic series offers elegant and robust floor hatches for both indoor and outdoor environments where aesthetics and functionality are equally important. The hatches are made of aluminum or stainless steel and can be filled with any flooring material such as tile, marble, concrete, wood, or parquet. The result is a discreet, sturdy, and fully integrated floor hatch that blends seamlessly into the surroundings without compromising access or safety.

Custom Solutions

Classic hatches can be fully customized to suit project requirements. Covers with frames in channels or with removable beams can be supplied in any size, allowing the entire clear opening to be exposed if needed. This is particularly useful in environments where access to large spaces beneath floors is required, such as technical or utility rooms.

With the Classic series, you get a flexible, safe, and visually appealing solution for floor access — regardless of load requirements or architectural vision.

 

About the Classic Series

The Classic series is designed to combine discreet design with reliable functionality. Thanks to the option of filling the hatch with any flooring material, it integrates seamlessly into both modern and classic environments — from office premises and shopping centers to residential buildings, hospitals, schools, and industrial facilities.

With several frame depths and load classes to choose from, the Classic series can be adapted for everything from light pedestrian traffic to heavier vehicle passages or equipment access. Whether you need a solution for a technical room, ventilation shaft, or concealed access to installations — there is a Classic model to suit.

 

Functionality and Tightness

The hatch construction is designed to withstand both mechanical stress and external influences. Sealing against dust, moisture, and odors is an important feature, especially in public or sensitive spaces. Combined with the option to choose fire-tested versions, this provides a highly versatile solution for both new construction and retrofitting.

 

Flexibility in Planning

Because the hatches can be manufactured in any size, both as single covers and as part of larger modular systems with removable beams, the design possibilities are practically unlimited. All Classic hatches can also be delivered with accessories such as opening tools, lifting eyes, hinge solutions, or safety locks.
