ICE BT provide professional fire rated access panel installation for all types of properties for commercial organisations across the South and South West of England, but also cater nationally.
Fire-rated access panels are an essential element of a building’s passive fire protection strategy where fire resistance is needed to protect areas where access to concealed spaces is required. For example, where access points within walls or ceilings are needed to maintain services such as plumbing, electrical cabling, and ventilation systems. These openings can create potential weak points in fire-resistant construction if they are not properly protected.
When correctly specified and installed, fire-rated access panels help ensure that these access points do not compromise the structure’s overall fire performance. They’re designed to maintain compartmentation, slow the spread of fire, and support safe evacuation and firefighting operations during an emergency.
ICE BT’s experienced engineers provide expert supply and installation of fire-rated access panels across commercial settings throughout England. Whether you require a standard fire-rated access hatch or a bespoke flush metal door panel for a complex install, we ensure every panel is compliant, functional, and built to last.
We source a range of wall and ceiling-mounted, and bespoke fire rated access panels, including panels with removable doors for ease of repair. All products supplied and installed are rigorously tested to ensure compliance with current fire safety legislation and British Standards.
Our team works closely with clients to ensure that every install not only meets regulatory requirements but also integrates seamlessly with the building’s design and operational needs.
We can also provide regular maintenance checks through routine inspections to help identify issues such as wear and tear on intumescent seals or damage to the panel structure, ensuring your fire-rated access panels continue to perform effectively over time.
On appointment, we conduct a comprehensive site survey to assess the specific access panel requirements. We’ll identify where panels are required, determining the appropriate rating and specific dimensions. While there, we’ll also evaluate any existing openings that may need upgrading.
We ensure that all fire rated access panels have a secure fit, are sealed, and aligned with the surrounding structure. Proper installation is critical, as even small gaps or incorrect fittings can compromise fire resistance and reduce the panel’s effectiveness.
