Fire-rated access panels are unique construction features designed to provide convenient access to concealed areas, such as plumbing, electrical, and HVAC systems, while also offering fire-resistance capabilities. Constructed from materials that can withstand high temperatures, these panels are tested and rated according to specific fire-resistance standards, usually segmented by time—such as 1-hour or 2-hour ratings—indicating the duration for which they can contain heat and flames during a fire incident.
Acoustics - Noise is one of the most distracting issues within spaces no matter where you go: restaurants, grocery stores, offices, etc. Our suspended ceiling tiles are designed to handle sound absorption (less echos and feedback, also known as “NRC”) and sound blocking (noise traveling between closed spaces, also known as “CAC”). Not only is it important to control the noise in a space (sound absorption), but also it’s equally important to maintain privacy in areas such as classrooms, exam rooms, meeting spaces as well as offices (sound blocking).
Ceiling trap doors, also known as access hatches or ceiling access doors, are essential for facilitating maintenance work, inspections, and emergency access. They come in various designs, materials, and sizes, making them versatile solutions for both residential and commercial applications. A well-designed trap door ensures that the entry point is discrete while providing reliable access when necessary.
3. Cost-Effective Solution Utilizing access panels can result in significant cost savings over time. By reducing the need to cut out larger sections of drywall for repairs, they facilitate quicker access to systems, minimizing labor costs and time.
Installing a 600x600 ceiling hatch requires careful planning and execution. It is crucial to identify the ideal location that offers convenient access while considering structural elements and the overall layout. Maintenance of these hatches is also essential; routine checks should be undertaken to ensure that the access points are not obstructed and that the hatches function properly.
