Commercial buildings require access products that maintain fire compartmentation across multi storey layouts, deliver acoustic separation between tenancies and floor plates, accommodate large format openings for plant and services, and integrate cleanly with high specification finishes. From Cat A shell and core to Cat B fit out, access solutions must be specified early, delivered on programme, and backed by documentation that satisfies both Building Control and tenant requirements.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about specifying access solutions for commercial projects.

Can you handle large schedules with mixed specifications?

Yes. We regularly supply against large commercial schedules with multiple fire ratings, acoustic requirements, panel types, and sizes across the same project. Our team manages the schedule, pricing, and phased delivery from one source.

What fire ratings are available for commercial buildings?

Access panels and riser doors are available with fire ratings from 30 minutes up to 120 minutes, tested. The correct rating for each location depends on the building's fire strategy.

Do you supply large format riser doors?

Yes. We manufacture riser doors in bespoke sizes for large plant rooms and service risers. Non standard dimensions are manufactured to order with typical lead times of 3 to 5 working days.

Can you support phased delivery across multiple floors?

Yes. We coordinate phased call offs through our distribution network to match your construction programme. Your distributor manages logistics while we align the manufacturing schedule.

Do your products support BREEAM requirements?

Our products and documentation can support BREEAM credits in areas including responsible sourcing, thermal performance, and acoustic comfort. Contact our technical team for project specific guidance.

Can you provide BIM objects for commercial projects?

Yes. BIM objects for our standard range are available for download. For bespoke products, we supply detailed CAD drawings and specification documents for inclusion in project models.
