Access panel 900×900 mm

The 900×900 mm / 90×90 cm format is one of our catalogue sizes for the access panel range, available in several variants depending on the application: integration in a plasterboard wall, installation in a suspended ceiling, damp areas, or rooms with fire-rating requirements. Suitable for access to server racks, compact air handling units, vertical hot water cylinders.

Access panel 900×900 mm for plasterboard and walls

The plasterboard range in the 900×900 mm (90×90 cm) format is designed for integration into a plasterboard wall or a standard dry-lining partition. The white powder-coated galvanised steel frame (RAL 9016) is surface-mounted onto the board; the door leaf itself receives a plasterboard insert, which makes the access panel virtually invisible once painted in with the surrounding wall.

Access panel 90×90 cm for ceilings

Fitted horizontally into a suspended ceiling, the 900×900 mm (90×90 cm) access panel provides entry to building services that are often bulky: a compact AHU, a server rack, a loft hatch opening. A 90-degree opening stay is supplied as standard with the ceiling-rated ranges.

Hinging, Opening Stay and Orientation

For a horizontal installation, the opening direction (hinge on the top, bottom, left or right edge) must be specified at the time of order. Every ceiling variant is supplied with a stay mechanism that holds the leaf open for the duration of the intervention, so it cannot fall onto the operative.

Steel access panel 900×900 mm

Where appearance is secondary (plantroom, basement, car park, building services areas), the bare metal version is faster to install and remains keenly priced. Three families are available in 900×900 mm (90×90 cm):

Made to measure access panels

The 900×900 mm (90×90 cm) format is part of our standard catalogue sizes. For neighbouring formats, see our other available sizes — every dimension is declined as standard from 200×200 mm up to 1200×1200 mm for the broadest ranges (metal and plasterboard).

Not every variant is held in stock for this format: solid wall, airtight, fire-rated, for tiling, ventilated versions are not part of the standard 900×900 mm (90×90 cm) offering. If the project requires one of them, please get in touch for a bespoke quotation — most ranges can be adapted to special sizes with an indicative lead time of around three weeks.

Frequently asked questions about the 900×900 mm access panel

Is the 900×900 mm format suitable for a standard modular grid ceiling?

For a 600×600 mm modular grid ceiling, a smaller format such as 900×900 mm (90×90 cm) forces a partial cut into the tile; a larger format exceeds the neighbouring module. For this reason 600×600 remains the standard, while 900×900 mm (90×90 cm) is reserved for narrower or wider grids depending on the situation.

What is the difference between the plasterboard version and the solid-wall version in 900×900 mm?

The plasterboard access panel uses a lightweight frame designed to integrate into 12.5 mm plasterboard. The solid-wall version reinforces the frame to take fixing loads on heavy substrates (brick, concrete, blockwork) and minimises hairline cracking around the perimeter render — it is suited to refurbishment and traditional construction.

Can the 900×900 mm format be manufactured to a bespoke specification?

Yes — every range can be adapted to specific dimensions (wall thickness, frame depth, special finish, round shape). The typical lead time for bespoke manufacture is around three weeks. For neighbouring sizes of 900×900 mm (90×90 cm), see our standard catalogue dimensions.
