Access panel 1000×1300 mm

The 1000×1300 mm / 100×130 cm / 1300×1000 mm / 130×100 cm format is a niche size in our catalogue, currently available as a metal variant. It is intended for specialist technical applications with particular geometric constraints (technical corridors, vertical service shafts, linear service voids).

Steel access panel 100×130 cm

The current catalogue lists 2 models for the rectangular 1000×1300 mm (100×130 cm) format: this is a niche size, typically used for specialist applications such as access to vertical service shafts, long technical risers, and horizontal service runs through narrow soffits.

Models available in 1000×1300 mm

• Tempo Softline Metal Access Panel – Square Key Lock
• Tempo Softline Metal Access Panel – Push Latch

Access panel 1300×1000 mm installed sideways

The 1000×1300 mm (100×130 cm) format is particularly well suited to:

• Access to vertical service shafts in technical risers
• Horizontal service runs (ducted heating, linear ventilation)
• Lowered soffits with geometric constraints (corridors, narrow distribution zones)
• Inspection of hydraulic services in technical crawl spaces

Made to measure access panels

If this format is required in a different specification — for example a fire-rated EI30 version, an IP54 airtight version, or a for-tiling version — it can be supplied as a bespoke order. The indicative lead time is around three weeks.

Technical Specifications

• Frame in white powder-coated galvanised steel (RAL 9016)
• Installation in line with BS 8212 (Code of practice for dry lining)
• Hinged opening with safety stay
• For other standard sizes, see our other available dimensions

Frequently asked questions about the 1000×1300 mm access panel

Why is there only one model available for the 1000×1300 mm format?

Long rectangular sizes such as 1000×1300 mm (100×130 cm) are mainly requested in specialist technical contexts (vertical service shafts, horizontal service runs). For this reason the standard catalogue offers a single version, optimised for the most common use case. Other variants are available made to order.

Can I order a fire-rated or airtight version in the 1000×1300 mm format?

Yes, on request. The fire-rated EI30/EI60 and airtight IP54 ranges can be adapted to the 1000×1300 mm (100×130 cm) format through bespoke manufacture. The typical lead time is around three weeks.

Is the 1000×1300 mm format suitable for a modular grid ceiling?

Not directly — the standard modular grid ceiling is 600×600 mm. The 1000×1300 mm (100×130 cm) format is intended for applications with specific geometric constraints (technical corridors, linear service voids), rather than for a modular office ceiling.
