What is an Access Panel?


Acoustic Benefits


2. Strut Bar Hangers These hangers consist of a horizontal metal strut that provides a solid base for the vertical support rods. Strut bars are ideal for heavy applications, ensuring that the grid can support more weight without risking structural integrity.


Ceiling access panels are specially designed openings that allow entry to concealed areas within a building. These panels are typically installed in ceilings to provide maintenance access to plumbing, electrical wiring, and heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems. When complemented with a sturdy ladder, these access panels become even more functional, allowing personnel to reach elevated areas safely and efficiently.


2. Installing the Grid The metal grid framework is attached to the existing ceiling using hangers or wall angles. The grid must be level and secure to ensure the tiles are evenly placed.


3. Versatility These access panels can be used in various settings – from homes to offices, hospitals, and schools. This versatility allows for a broad spectrum of design solutions, accommodating specific requirements based on building usage and architecture.


2. Measure and Cut Using a drywall saw, carefully cut an opening in the ceiling where the access panel will be installed. Ensure the dimensions match the panel's size.
