Aluminium Floor Access Covers from Howe Green

For demanding public sector environments that experience significant levels of pedestrian footfall, the correct specification of permanent under-floor access solutions is vital to not only providing secure and maintenance-free access to underground services, but also always ensuring the highest levels of hygiene and safety.

Lightweight aluminium floor access covers offer both resilience and ease of use, whilst also being resistant to corrosion, a key requirement for the healthcare and education sectors due to the high level of cleaning and sanitisation required.

Due to their light weight, aluminium covers can be extremely versatile, as they support quick and easy installation, whilst also delivering an unobtrusive finish that eliminates potential trip hazards and the requirement for continuous upkeep.

With Howe Green’s portfolio of aluminium access solutions available in single or short duct runs, specifiers can achieve a successful specification and ensure the highest standards of compliance, without impacting the overall aesthetics of the project.

5000 Series

The 5000 Series light-duty aluminium floor access covers are suitable for installation with a range of hard floor finishes and can withstand high footfalls of pedestrian only traffic.

The size, depth and weight of the 5000 Series makes it suitable for a diverse range of applications for residential and commercial spaces where safe and permanent access to under-floor services is required. The ranges’ light weight construction ensures quick and easy installation, in addition to safe and convenient use, to ensure minimum disruption in public spaces.

7500 Series

The medium-duty 7500 Series can be installed with a range of hard flooring finishes and is supplied with a FACTA B rating as standard, ensuring it is able to withstand a five-tonne pneumatic tyre wheel load, making it suitable for cars and light delivery vehicles.

The 7500 Series is a popular choice for commercial premises where a heavier loadingcover may be required to enable maintenance personnel easy access to mechanical equipment and underfloor-based building services.

Visedge® Series

Suitable for installation with a range of flexible floor finishes, the Visedge® Series features a double seal that makes it ideal for environments where cleanliness, hygiene and durability are paramount including hospitals, kitchens, laboratories and schools.

Manufactured with a top edge seal that prevents dirt and water ingress, the construction also features a weldable PVC securing edge that enables the frame section to be bonded and welded to the cut edge of the sheet flooring to form an impermeable, flat, hygienic, and permanent joint.
