INTRODUCTION
The PROFAB 6000 series range of circular metal access panels provides regular access into jointless plasterboard or plaster ceilings systems when access to mechanical and electrical services is required.

COMPOSITION & MANUFACTURE
The metal frame holds a flush metal door through a simple concealed twist hinge device. Doors are removable if damage occurs or during installation. Panels with simulated dry wall beaded frames (BF) are then decorated on site to match the colour/texture of the adjacent finish. A constant 2mm gap is maintained between the door and frame by the 'Dome Location' system.
