Description
18" x 18" BA-XTA Super Insulated Aluminum Exterior Access Panel
Exterior access panels serve an important purpose but can also be a weak point for insulation and weather protection. These openings can lead to equipment damage, potential moisture problems, and increased energy costs. Addressing these vulnerability points is an important part of maintaining overall building performance.
The 18" x 18" BA-XTA Super Insulated Aluminum Exterior Access Panel solves these challenges by combining durable construction with high-performance insulation.
With an R-value of 13 and comprehensive weather sealing, this panel maintains the integrity of your building's thermal barrier while providing convenient access whenever needed.
Why Should You Use the 18" x 18" BA-XTA?
- Superior Thermal Performance: With 2 inches of polyisocyanurate insulation delivering an R-value of 13, this panel prevents heat from escaping in winter and keeps cool air inside during summer. Heating and cooling systems won't have to work overtime, lowering utility costs.
- Enhanced Weather Resistance: The dual-layered gasket system with adhesive-backed EPDM foam and silicone rubber seals effectively keeps out water and air even in severe weather conditions.
- Durable Construction for Longevity: The BA-XTA features a .040” aluminum door panel and a 16-gauge galvanneal steel frame. This construction withstands harsh environments while resisting corrosion for years.
- Wide-Angle Access for Maintenance Ease: The continuous stainless steel hinge opens the door to 170°, providing ample space for maintenance personnel and equipment without straining or damaging the panel during service operations.
- Secure Lockable Design for Safety: Equipped with a black lockable compression paddle latch, this access panel prevents unauthorized access while maintaining a tight seal when closed.
