Gypsum & Aluminium Access Panels

An access panel gives maintenance access to valves, dampers, junction boxes and drainage points without cutting into the finished surface each time. Our panels are supplied as a complete unit — door, frame and latch — ready for the plasterer or fitter to install in one operation.

We produce two constructions. The gypsum panel is designed to disappear into a plasterboard ceiling once jointed and painted. The aluminium panel is a rigid, powder-coated unit for locations where durability matters more than concealment.

Gypsum Access Panels

A plasterboard door bonded into a concealed galvanised steel frame. After jointing and painting, the panel becomes effectively invisible — the reason it is standard in hotel corridors, hospital wards and high-end office fit-outs.
