Recent changes to Approved Document ‘J’ of the Building Regulations relating to the inspection of flue systems, state that if all or part of a property’s flue boiler is hidden behind a wall or ceiling, the householder or landlord must arrange for inspection hatches to be fitted.

High performance Access Panels from Timloc have been designed to provide a range of solutions suitable for all applications, making compliance with the new Gas Safe regulations quick and cost effective.

For drylined walls, ceilings, ducts and units, Timloc’s Plastic Access Panels provide a modern, clean appearance in textured white which allows for painting. Metal Panels are available in low cost ‘NFR’ options with no insulation or fire-rating, or in the ‘1FR Slim frame’ and ‘1FR deep frame’ design range which offer a 60 minute fire-rating whilst insulated and draught stripped. Tile Insert Access Panels provide access though ceramic and marble tiled walls up to a thickness of 10mm. Completing the range, Timloc’s Circular Access Panels offer a simple, contemporary design providing access into jointless plasterboard or plaster ceilings for maintenance of mechanical and electrical services.
