24" x 24" BA-FRDC Fire-Rated Recessed Drywall Ceiling Access Door
Fire-rated ceilings are built to slow the spread of fire for a specific period, but poorly designed access doors can weaken these barriers, reducing their effectiveness. Some models also protrude or stand out, making them difficult to blend into drywall surfaces. The 24" x 24" BA-FRDC Fire-Rated Recessed Drywall Ceiling Access Door solves these challenges.
Its recessed design and perforated frame make it easy to apply a skim coat that blends effortlessly into drywall ceilings. Constructed from durable zinc-coated steel, it resists corrosion while maintaining its structural integrity over time. With a fire-rated, low-profile design, the BA-FRDC meets building codes without compromising the ceiling's clean, sleek appearance.
Why Should You Use the 24" x 24" BA-FRDC?
- Fire-Rated Design: This access door meets a 90-minute fire rating in compliance with CAN/ULC S101-14, ASTM E119-16, and NFPA 251, ensuring fire-rated ceiling integrity.
- Seamless Ceiling Integration: The recessed design, fitted with 5/8" fire-rated drywall and perforated frame edges, allows trouble-free skim coat application, creating an invisible access point in the ceiling.
- Concealed Hardware for a Clean Look: Unlike other models, the BA-FRDC features a fully concealed hinge and a self-centering device, maintaining a smooth and uninterrupted ceiling surface.
- Automatic Self-Closing and Self-Latching: Equipped with a self-latching bolt and a self-closing mechanism, this door automatically secures itself after each use, ensuring compliance with fire codes.
- Durable and Corrosion-Resistant Build: Made from zinc-coated 22-gauge steel, the BA-FRDC offers superior durability and corrosion resistance, making it ideal for long-term use.
