Black access panel – RAL 9005

The black access panel RAL 9005 (jet black) is a metal panel in galvanised steel with a powder-coated finish. Coloured metal access panels are rare on the UK market — the Tempo Softline range offers black as a standard finish: against a light ceiling, this black inspection hatch (also called an access door) becomes a deliberate graphic detail; against a dark surface, it disappears. 7 square sizes from 200×200 to 800×800 mm, from £173.15, with no surcharge for the colour.

Where to fit a black access panel?

Anywhere technical access needs to look considered: suspended ceilings and plasterboard walls, service risers and ducts, commercial premises, hospitality and offices, bathrooms with dark tiles. It is the interior designer’s choice when the panel is on show and owned, rather than hidden.

Which model to choose?

All models share the monobloc frame with bevelled profile (Tempo Softline line), for a clean finish on plaster or plasterboard.

Frequently asked questions

Does a black access panel cost more than a white one? No, all 14 RAL colours are the same price; only size and opening system change the price.

Black or anthracite? Black RAL 9005 gives the strongest contrast; anthracite RAL 7024 is a very dark grey, softer in combinations.

Is the black coating durable? Yes, the factory-applied powder coating is uniform and more resistant than on-site painting.

Can I get a different black or RAL shade? Yes, via the bespoke access panel service.
