Palco UK All About Tile Access Panels
A tile access panel is specially designed to provide access to concealed areas where tiles are installed without causing damage to the surrounding structure. They are made with moisture resistant boards in order to suit areas prone to damp such as kitchens and bathrooms. These panels aren’t entirely waterproof but do provide a certain level of protection in these kinds of areas.
At Palco, our Pal08 tile panel has a beaded frame and is made from Zintec steel with a moisture resistant board. This is available non-fire rated with touch catch or with up to 2-hour fire rating with other locks. The moisture board can hold a tile and adhesive weight of up to 32KG per m₂. The panel is available up to 1800mmx600mm and is suitable for walls only.
We also offer a non-fire rated tile panel as part of our FlipFix range. This panel, unlike the Pal08, has a lift-out door. It ranges in size from 200mm x 200mm up to 600mm x 600mm and a variety of different locks are available.
Palco’s CPD course: “An Introduction to Access Panels and Riser Doors”
In the fast-moving world of architecture and construction, staying informed on the latest product innovations, compliance standards, and technical solutions is essential. That’s why Continuing Professional Development (CPD) is not just a regulatory box to tick – it’s a vital tool for delivering better buildings, improving design integration, and meeting client expectations.
PALCO, a leading supplier of access solutions, is proud to offer an online RIBA-approved CPD course designed specifically for architects and specifiers looking to deepen their understanding of access panels and riser doors – some of the most overlooked components in modern construction.
Why Access Panels Matter
Access panels serve a deceptively simple function: allowing building professionals, contractors, and maintenance teams to access concealed services such as pipework, electrical wiring, or HVAC systems.
From fire-rated panels to airtight, acoustic, or security-rated solutions, each type of panel is designed for specific performance requirements. Understanding when, where, and how to specify the right panel can dramatically affect the safety, aesthetics and functionality of a project.
What the CPD Covers
PALCO’s CPD course: “An Introduction to Access Panels and Riser Doors”, goes beyond the basics, providing comprehensive information about:
● An overview of access panel and riser door types — including metal, plasterboard, plastic and specialist bespoke panels.
● Insights into innovative solutions — exploring how these panels can address unique challenges for various building projects.
● Performance attributes explained — covering fire resistance, acoustic performance, air tightness, security ratings, finishes, and compliance with British Standards.
● Practical specification advice — helping architects avoid common mistakes when specifying and ensure that access panels integrate seamlessly into their designs.
● Support provided — ask any questions via the training platform and receive a comprehensive answer back from our team.
This course provides educational value without bias, allowing you to walk away with valuable insights and objective knowledge to help you feel more confident while contributing to your annual CPD requirements.
Best of all, the course is fully online – allowing you to complete it from the comfort of your own home. Upon completion, your certificate will be issued automatically.
