Plasterboard access panels, also known as drywall access hatches, provide convenient access to building services concealed behind walls and ceilings. They allow ventilation, plumbing, heating and other installations to be inspected and maintained without dismantling plasterboard structures. The panels are made with aluminium frames and plasterboard infills or from ABS plastic and can be painted, filled or prepared for tiling.
