The FlipFix Metal Access Panel is a dual-purpose steel access panel designed to provide secure and convenient access to concealed building services within plasterboard walls and ceilings. Featuring a 25 mm beaded frame, the panel is designed for tape and jointing or skim coat plaster finishes, creating a neat, flush appearance that blends seamlessly with surrounding wall or ceiling surfaces.

The panel incorporates the patented FlipFix fixing device, enabling rapid installation directly into plasterboard without the need for additional timber framing, making it ideal for both new-build and refurbishment projects. Manufactured from high-quality Zintec steel, the panel features a metal-faced door and is supplied with a flush budget lock as standard, with alternative locking options available to suit project requirements.

Finished in a durable RAL 9010 (30% gloss) polyester powder coating as standard, the FlipFix range is available in standard and bespoke sizes, with alternative RAL colours available on request.

Available in non-fire-rated, 1-hour fire-rated and 2-hour fire-rated configurations (subject to size and application), the panel provides reliable access to concealed mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP) services while maintaining a high-quality plaster finish. Suitable for residential, commercial, healthcare, education and public sector buildings.
