18" x 18" Invisa Hatch™ Drywall Inlay with Fully Detachable Hatch

18" x 18" BA-IVH Invisa Hatch™ Drywall Inlay with Fully Detachable Hatch

Successful building projects need to balance aesthetics with practical functionality. Architects design spaces with specific styles in mind, while engineers ensure that building systems remain accessible for long-term operation.

Standard access panels create tension between these requirements, forcing project teams to choose between visual integrity and practical maintenance needs. This often results in compromised outcomes that satisfy neither goal completely.

The 18" x 18" BA-IVH Invisa Hatch™ Drywall Inlay with Fully Detachable Hatch bridges this gap. This innovative access panel virtually disappears into your wall or ceiling, leaving only a hairline 1/16" reveal that's nearly impossible to spot.

The high-grade aluminum construction with drywall inlay creates a seamless surface that matches your existing finish. At the same time, the fully detachable design provides complete access when you need it most.
