Description
18" x 18" BA-GFRC-RH Glass Fiber Reinforced Cement Radius Corner – Hinged
Heavy access panels can be cumbersome to install, especially on ceilings or high soffits. Lightweight access panels offer simplified installation, reduced labor costs, and reduced damage risk compared to heavy metal options. The 18" x 18" BA-GFRC-RH Glass Fiber Reinforced Cement Radius Corner – Hinged is a durable and weather-resistant access panel, making it ideal for exterior applications.
The BA-GFRC-RH is a lightweight, durable, and user-friendly exterior access panel made from fiberglass and recycled glass. Its hinged design allows easy access to concealed spaces, while European angled hinges ensure smooth operation.
The panel's sleek aesthetics complement various exterior design styles, and its use of post-consumer recycled glass may contribute to LEED v4 green building certification points. Its unobtrusive aesthetics and elegant design make it a versatile and attractive solution for exterior access panels.
Why Should You Use the 18" x 18" BA-GFRC-RH?
