Application
Craftsmen Office Interiors engaged Trafalgar Access to supply a Curved Corner Access Panel solution for a Melbourne retail fit out. The project involved the construction of a new extension within the existing premises, requiring a consistent visual finish to align with the overall architectural design.
The ceiling throughout the space was completed to a Level 5 plaster finish, creating the need for access panels that would integrate seamlessly without disrupting the visual consistency of the surface. Curved Corner Access Panels were specified by the architect to complement the design intent and ensure a refined, cohesive ceiling appearance.
The Challenge
- Achieving a seamless integration within a level 5 plasterboard ceiling finish.
- Manufacturing a Curved Access Panel to a precise 120mm radius to meet the architectural specifications.
- Ensuring the panels remained visually consistent within the retail stores interior.
- Accomplishing accurate sizing and installation for multiple panel dimensions: 600x600mm & 450mmx450mm.
What did we do?
- MDF Curved Corner Access Panels manufactured to a precise 120mm radius to meet architectural design requirements.
- Panels fitted with concealed touch latches for a clean, handle-free appearance.
- Designed to support a seamless integration within plasterboard ceiling systems.
- Simple installation process allowing panels to be efficiently framed, set, and finished on site.
- Compatible with level 5 plaster finishing for a high-quality, flush ceiling result.
- Once installed and finished, panels blend seamlessly into the ceiling, maintaining overall visual integrity.
- Provides practical and discreet access without compromising the design of the space.
