Standard Access Panels

Standard Access Panels

While fire rated access panels are mandatory in some locations, the standard access panels offer advantages in areas not requiring fire protection. Their lower cost and versatility make them the right choice in many situations. These access panels are made from plastics, metals, and composite materials without special intumescent treatments and closing mechanisms. This simpler build makes it affordable to provide maintenance access.

Many standard commercial and residential walls suit standard access panels. Ease of installation is another benefit as they readily fit into wood studs, metal framing, blocks and concrete substrates without modifications. The weight of these panels is typically lower, reducing reinforcement needs. Panels also screw in place easily without specialised tools. Aesthetics are also greater with non-rated panels. Plus, any colour or coverings suit non-rated panels without strict testing rules.

Although standard access panels cannot substitute the fire rated ones, they fill the access needs in many retail spaces, office buildings and homes. Their flexibility and cost-effectiveness should not be overlooked when fire resistance is not mandated.
