"Access panels are an important component in both commercial and residential builds. They allow easy entry to concealed utilities while minimising the demolition of walls and ceilings. Properly selected access panels save time and disruption down the road.
For frequent access, sturdy hinged access panels provide a durable steel or plastic door that can be opened when needed. Hinged panels are available in standard and custom sizes to fit your specific application. Locks and latches can be added for security if required.
Fire rated access panels maintain the fire resistance of a wall or ceiling when regular access is needed. Fire rated panels are tested to contain a blaze for a specified time period, meeting building code requirements. The panels themselves are constructed from galvanised steel and come in 1 and 2-hour ratings.
Standard access panels are suitable for applications where fire resistance is not necessary. Typically made from lighter materials like plastic or drywall, standard access panels blend seamlessly into the surface finish. These lightweight panels can be removed completely when access to utilities or wiring is only occasionally required."
