The AirTech-UK Plasterboard Steel Access Panel is designed for contractors and homeowners looking for a professional, flush-finished solution to access plumbing or electrical systems hidden within walls and ceilings. By incorporating a 12.5mm gypsum board insert into a steel frame, it allows for a seamless, plastered look that effectively hides the hatch from view; however, installation requires a skilled hand to ensure the plastering blends perfectly with the surrounding surface.

Yes, this panel is designed for use in both walls and ceilings.
Yes, the hinged door is detachable, which allows for easier access to deep utility voids.
The door comes with a standard 12.5mm gypsum board insert.
The beaded frame is designed for you to skim plaster over the edge, masking the outline of the frame.
No, this specific model is not rated for fire resistance.
Check for excessive paint or plaster buildup in the latch area and clean gently with a soft brush.
Ensure the steel frame was installed perfectly square during the initial framing phase; use shims if necessary to adjust frame tension.
To install, frame an opening to the exact dimensions of the panel. Secure the steel frame to the surrounding wall studs or ceiling joists using appropriate fixings. The beaded edge should be screwed through the perforations into the frame, then skimmed with plaster to bridge the gap between the frame and the wall. For care, avoid using abrasive cleaners on the push-lock mechanism. Periodically check that the door hinges are free of excessive paint or plaster buildup to ensure the push-lock continues to function smoothly.
