Durable Zintec Access Panel for Ceilings
CAD C is a robust and functional access panel for ceilings, manufactured from durable Zintec with an optional RAL finish. It integrates easily into suspended ceilings without disrupting the overall aesthetic. The hatch combines excellent corrosion resistance with long service life and is designed for environments where reliable access to ceiling installations is essential. It is certified according to EN 14975 and is well-suited for commercial buildings, technical rooms, and public spaces.
CAD C provides a durable and practical solution for projects where functionality, quality, and longevity are key considerations. It can be advantageously combined with our external roof hatches and with our Zip ladders 4–7.

What is an access panel used for?
An access panel provides easy access to installations that are otherwise hidden behind walls or ceilings, such as pipes, valves, electrical wiring, or junction boxes. Installing an access panel allows service, maintenance, and troubleshooting to be performed without having to open or damage the wall or ceiling.
Where are access panels installed?
Access panels are typically installed in walls, ceilings, or service shafts where access to technical installations is required. They are commonly used in residential buildings, offices, public buildings, and technical rooms.
What size access panel should I choose?
The size of the access panel should be adapted to the installation behind the wall or ceiling. The opening must be large enough to safely and efficiently perform service and maintenance on the installations.
Are access panels available in different materials?
Yes, access panels are available in various materials, such as galvanized steel, stainless steel, or aluminum. The choice of material depends on the installation location and requirements for durability, design, or corrosion resistance.
Are there fire-rated access panels?
