What are Drywall Access Doors?
Drywall access doors are panels installed within drywall surfaces to provide easy access to concealed utilities such as pipes, wiring, and ductwork. They are typically made of materials such as steel, aluminum, or plastic and can be fire-rated or non-fire-rated depending on the application.
Key features include:
- Concealed yet functional access points
- Durability and ease of installation
- Options for fire resistance and soundproofing
- Compatibility with various wall and ceiling finishes
These doors are essential for ensuring safe, efficient, and aesthetically pleasing construction.
