Varieties of panels

It is important to find the right type of panel for the needs of the property that is being constructed.

SBS direct offer a number of different access panels for the construction industry:

• standard non-rated access panels
• tile access panels
• acoustic rated access panels

Acoustic access panels come supplied with metal or MDF doors, according to the customer’s preference. They also have foam seals around the doors perimeter to help reduce noise leakage. Fire rated access panels have one or two hour ratings, or can be customised to suit required fire ratings. We also supply panels which have fire ratings on either side in order to accommodate shaft applications. Tiled access panels have recess doors to ensure that the panels much other tiles on ceilings, floors or walls. They also have touch locks to ensure easy access.

Securing access panels

Another important aspect of the access is to make sure that they are fully secure. Choosing the right type of locks for your access panels can help to ensure that the home is secure and that access panels cannot be used as a way to enter into the property. For example, budget locks will help to keep the property secure, and are the best way to prevent gas and other utility systems from opening on their own, alongside the more advanced but still effective touch locks. SBS direct offer a number of different locks:

• budget lock
• touch lock
• coin lock
• key lock
