12" x 12" Metal Panel Recessed For Drywall Surfaces

12" x 12" BA-RDW Metal Panel Recessed for Drywall Surfaces

Maintaining a clean, uninterrupted look on your walls is easily achievable when you integrate an access panel that disappears into the surface.

The 12" x 12" BA-RDW Metal Panel is designed for drywall installations where you want a hidden finish. It features a recessed door leaf that allows you to insert a piece of drywall directly into the panel, so that once it’s taped and mudded, the only thing visible is a tiny gap around the edge.

The BA-RDW is built for long-term durability, with 16-gauge steel used for both the frame and the door. The door is also recessed at exactly 0.625" (5/8"), which is the standard thickness for most commercial drywall surfaces.

Why Should You Use the 12" x 12" BA-RDW Metal Panel?

• Seamless Hidden Finish: The 0.625" recess is designed to accept a drywall inlay. Once the door is mudded and painted, the access point becomes virtually invisible, making it ideal for high-end offices and modern interiors.
• Precision Mud-in Flange: The galvanized steel drywall bead flange provides a solid surface for tape and joint compound to stick to, which prevents cracks and ensures a polished finish.
• Heavy-Duty 16-Gauge Build: Both the door and frame are made of 16-gauge steel. This gives the panel the strength it needs to resist warping and remain reliable over years of use.
• Rust-Inhibitive Finish: The electrostatic powder-baked enamel finish protects the steel from moisture and corrosion.
• Flexible Locking Options: Depending on your project needs, you can choose between a simple screwdriver latch for easy access or a keyed cylinder lock for high-security areas.

Ensure your service access points blend with your building’s aesthetics with a professional solution designed for projects that require a durable, hidden finish. Request a quote today to get a detailed quote for your next project.
