Access panels cover and protect mechanical and electrical systems, whilst providing easy access to them. There are various different types, each with different characteristics and specifications. Metal door access panels can also come with a beaded frame. By plastering over the frame it can be concealed, showing only the door.

Riser doors are access panels which are suitable for walls and they can provide up to 120 minutes fire protection, to cover any opening in a wall. These products are bespoke, so they can be made to fit a range of hole sizes for a snug fit. Furthermore, they can be either beaded or picture framed, fire rated to 60, 90 or 120 minutes and acoustic rated to up to 36dB. If you have any questions about riser doors, or any of our other access panels, feel free to contact anyone in our team on 01752 690997.



As well as providing fire protection, our intumescent coatings can also provide a decorative finish to suit your aesthetic needs.

In summary, timber coatings can achieve a whole spectrum of finishes- from clear to painted and matt, satin or gloss.

Steel coatings, however, can only achieve a white or a different colour finish when coated in a topcoat.

Plasterboard coatings are similar in the sense that the standard finish is white. Some are compatible with topcoats that can be tinted, others can be tinted themselves.

If a painted finish is required, you will need to know the exact colour code that the top coat needs to be tinted to.
