Key Features:

• High-Quality Construction: The panel is manufactured from durable Zintec steel with a 0.9mm thick door and frame. It features an unsealed plasterboard-faced door, making it ideal for tape and jointing or skim-coat plastering, ensuring a seamless finish that blends effortlessly with surrounding surfaces.
• Beaded Frame Design: Equipped with a beaded frame, this access panel is specifically designed for tape and jointing or skim-coat plastering. The beaded frame provides a secure edge for plastering, helping to create a smooth, professional finish once installed.
• Patented FlipFix Fitting Device: Supplied with the innovative FlipFix fitting device, this access panel is quick and easy to install, saving time on the job. The FlipFix device allows for installation without the need for additional screws or fittings, clamping securely to plasterboard of thicknesses ranging from 8mm to 32mm. Simply insert the panel into the opening, tighten the FlipFix device, and lock the door in place.
• Versatile Application: Suitable for both wall and ceiling installations, this panel is designed for inspection purposes only and is not suitable for personnel access. It provides easy access to services while maintaining the aesthetic of plasterboard surfaces.
• Locking Mechanism: The door is secured with a budget lock as standard, providing a basic level of security. Additional secure locking options are available on a made-to-order basis for those requiring enhanced security features.
• Customisable Finish: This panel comes with an unsealed plasterboard face, allowing for easy painting or decoration to match the surrounding area. Bespoke sizes are also available upon request to meet specific project requirements.
• Installation Guidelines: For proper installation, ensure that the structural opening is at least 5mm larger than the panel size. For example, a 600x600mm panel requires a 605x605mm opening. To prevent cracking of the skim coat, apply a joint filler and scrim tape over the junction between the beaded frame and plasterboard before plastering.

Choose the FlipFix Plasterboard Access Panel Inspection Hatch for a reliable, efficient solution that combines ease of installation with a high-quality finish. Perfect for both residential and commercial applications, this access panel ensures quick access to services while maintaining the aesthetic integrity of plasterboard surfaces.
