Buy a square lid of a hatch
The search for a suitable hatch cover may seem difficult, but in fact everything is not as scary as it seems. The choice depends on many factors, and above all on the size and purpose of the hatch. The square form is a fairly common solution, and finding a suitable option is quite real. The main thing is to know what to look.
Choosing material: steel, cast iron or plastic?
The first question that is worth asking for yourself, choosing the square lid of the hatch - what material should it be made of? Steel covers are durable and durable, but can be corroded. Cast iron - even more durable and severe, perfectly confront corrosion, but more expensive. Plastic lids are light and relatively inexpensive, but less durable and, as a rule, are suitable for hatches with a lower load. The choice of material directly depends on which load will affect the lid and under what conditions it will be operated. For pedestrian zones, a plastic cover can be quite suitable, and for the carriageway - only cast -iron or steel.
Size and design: Search for the perfect coincidence
The next important aspect is the size. It is necessary to accurately measure the size of the hatch so that the new cover is perfect. A small discrepancy can lead to the fact that the lid will hang out or, conversely, will not close the hatch completely. In addition to size, you should pay attention to the design. Although the hatch cover is not an object of decor, it should still be in harmony with the surrounding space. There are covers of various colors and textures that allow you to choose an option that is as suitable for the general style.
