#1 GFRG HIDDEN ACCESS PANELS

Stealth GFRG Access Panels

Clean. Simple. Hidden.
Stealth Access Panels are Glass Fiber Reinforced
Gypsum (GFRG) ceiling and wall access panels that
are designed to blend seamlessly into any drywall
ceiling or wall where periodic access is required.

The panels consist of a surround frame with

pre-drilled/spotted fastener holes and a drop-in door
(for ceiling access) or a hinged door with a latching
mechanism (for wall applications).

The hinged models offer 3 different styles of latching

mechanisms (Lock-Latch, Touch Latch,
or Keyless/Cam-Latch) depending on the ease of
access desired. 7
Ideal for use in both New Construction and Retrofit
Construction projects, Stealth Access Panels are avail­ \
able in Commercial or Residential models for Interior
projects in a wide range of stock sizes as well as a host
of special-order custom size configurations.
Features & Benefits:
Residential models incorporate an energy-saving
gasket seal that keeps air from passing through and • Tapered Edge Frame
keeps attic temperatures from infiltrating the living • Easily Textured & Paintable

E. Where GRG parts are suspended, use the suspension points indicated on the shop drawings as a
minimum requirement and use additional support(s) if required.
F. Install control joints between GRG parts as indicated and as required by the manufacturer.
G. Use joint-treatment materials to finish GRG parts and assemblies to produce surfaces ready to receive
primers and paint finishes as detailed. Note: Unfinished GRG parts may exhibit slight imperfections,
normally hidden by a textured finished. To obtain satisfactory results with smooth finishes, filling and
sanding will be required to hide imperfections inherent in GRG.
3.4 Protection
