The Bilco GS-50SV is a versatile access door that serves as an automatic smoke vent that you can quickly open in a fire to lessen the area's heat and remove the deadly gas, smoke, and harmful chemicals. It also functions as a skylight that allows natural light to pass through the hatch during the day.
Why Install GS-50SV?
