The Access Panel Co., Ltd.

The Tile Panel provides a high quality opening for access to building services in ceramic tiled walls. Each panel is made to suit the individual tile & combination of tiles being used. This ensures no unsightly tile cuts or visible frames to disrupt the overall tiled finish. With whole tiles on the door face and no disrupted tile joints the panel’s position is then difficult to identify. The design utilises a continuous piano hinge that limits door sag to a minimum thus avoiding chipped tiles caused by the door dropping as it is opened. As tile joints are normally no more than two or three millimetres any fall in the door can cause tile damage. Once adjusted for the weight of the tiles, the design ensures no further door drop caused by play in the hinge mechanism and no subsequent tile damage. The panel comes finished fully powder coated white with the door tray boarded as a base for the tiles. The door tray can be removed after tiling if required. Adjustment of the angle of the door tray is achieved using schims behind the hinge bolts to achieve the correct position. The door is fitted with either a budget lock accessed by a chrome escutcheon to the outer face or with a touch catch mechanism. The panel is available fire rated up to two hours. The design is similar to the standard door with the fire rating technology incorporated to the rear of the panel. When fitted the fire rated panel is entirely hidden behind the tiles.
