How to choose the right Access Panel
To help decide which Access Panel suits your requirements, we’re going to list the differences between them.
1. Picture Frame
Picture Frame
An access panel featuring a 25mm frame surrounding the door. The most popular choice, these panels can be fitted into an existing wall or ceiling and they’re the easiest to install. Available in metal or plastic. View picture frame access panels.
2. Beaded Frame
Beaded Frame
Access panels with a beaded frame provide an area where a plasterer can adhere plaster up to the edge of the door, resulting in an access panel with a concealed frame and metal door. Therefore, the frame will not be visible. This frame type can be found on both metal and plasterboard panels. View beaded frame access panels.
3. Plasterboard Door
Plasterboard
Plasterboard access panels feature a plasterboard door and beaded frame, this allows plastering over the door and the frame, making the panel as invisible as possible. You’re able to paint over the door and after installation you will not see the frame. View plasterboard access panels.
