Riser doors

Our website lists standard sizes and our standard finish is RAL 9010 30% Gloss. However, we understand that projects often have unique needs. We also offer bespoke riser doors and custom manufacturing services.

Unfortunately we do not manufacture waterproof access panels.

Unfortunately we do not sell Access Panels that can be used on the floor. However, we do sell Floor Access Covers.

We can custom manufacture tiled access panels to suit your project requirements, please contact us for a quotation.

The choice depends on your project requirements:

• Metal Riser Doors: Offer superior durability and security, making them ideal for commercial or high-traffic areas. They typically have a powder-coated finish.
• Plasterboard Riser Doors: Are designed to be integrated seamlessly into a plaster wall, offering a discreet, almost invisible finish once decorated. They are perfect for high-end residential or design-led commercial spaces where access is required without compromising aesthetics.

We offer multiple Access Panel types. Our FlipFix easy installation range are the most popular due to their revolutionary and unique FlipFix mechanism.

The standard colour of our access panels is RAL9010 white however, we can powder coat the access panel in almost any RAL colour required. An alternative option is for us to dust prime the access panel which allows the consumer to paint the panel themselves.

Beaded frames are frames which can be plastered over, whereas picture frames is retrofit and no plastering will be required.

A dual purpose access panel is an access panel that can be installed in both a wall or ceiling. Most of our stock panels are dual purpose however, we don’t recommend installing the plastic access panel in a ceiling.

Plasterboard doors with beaded frames are used when you need to plaster over the door and the frame, so all you will see is the outline of the panel in the wall or ceiling. This looks very neat and tidy.

Picture frames are 25mm frames around an access panel and the frame will be visible when installed therefore, you don’t have to worry about how neat the hole is. The beaded frame allows you to plaster over it, so all you see is the white door and no frame.

A riser door is designed to safely conceal vertical service shafts (risers) in a building, housing things like electrical wiring, plumbing, and data cables, while providing secure and easy access for essential maintenance, inspection, and repair work. They also play a crucial role in maintaining fire safety compartmentation and acoustic performance within the wall system.

You’re able to use glue to secure the plastic access panel in place.

The time to install our access panels is dependant on which access panel you’re referring to. Our FlipFix range can take approximately 10-15 minutes, whereas standard access panels can take up to 30-45 minutes.

Structural opening is the size of the hole in your wall / ceiling.

The best example would be if you’re ordering a 600 x 600mm Access Panel, then you will need to make the hole in the wall or ceiling (the structural opening) 605 x 605mm. (5mm larger than the panel size).
