18" x 18" General Purpose Panel with Drywall Flange - Stainless Steel - Cendrex

18" x 18" AHD-GYP-SS General Purpose Panel with Drywall Flange - Stainless Steel – Cendrex

A durable access panel is essential for areas with high moisture levels, such as bathrooms, laundry rooms, and kitchens. Standard panels made from drywall or painted steel can deteriorate over time, leading to rust, warping, or deterioration. The 18" x 18" AHD-GYP-SS General Purpose Panel with Drywall Flange - Stainless Steel balances functionality with aesthetics and integrates seamlessly into the surrounding surface, eliminating the need for extra patching or touch-ups. This panel offers peace of mind, withstands potential moisture, and provides a polished look, making it ideal for areas that demand a balance of practicality and visual appeal.

Cendrex's AHD-GYP-SS is a corrosion-resistant access panel for humid environments like bathrooms, kitchens, laundry rooms, and exteriors. It features a smart drywall flange design, a hidden pin hinge, and a latch mechanism for smooth installation.

The panel's stainless-steel finish adds modern elegance and complements various design styles. Optional features like key-operated locks enhance security in sensitive areas. Fire-rated for extra protection, available in standard sizes and with neoprene gasketing.

Why Should You Use the 18" x 18" AHD-GYP-SS?  

• Unmatched Durability in Demanding Environments: Unlike standard access panels that can succumb to moisture or rust, the AHD-GYP-SS is crafted from high-quality, corrosion-resistant stainless steel. This makes it the perfect solution for bathrooms, laundry rooms, kitchens, or exteriors, where long-lasting performance is essential.
• Flawless Aesthetics for a Polished Look: The AHD-GYP-SS goes beyond just functionality. Its drywall flange design allows seamless integration into your walls and ceilings, eliminating visible gaps and creating a clean, professional finish. This is particularly beneficial for projects where a polished look is prioritized, like reception areas, offices, or high-end residential spaces.
• Effortless Functionality with Optional Security: The AHD-GYP-SS prioritizes ease of use and access control. The hidden hinge design simplifies installation, while the standard latch provides easy access when needed. You can further enhance security with optional features like key-operated locks for areas requiring restricted access.
• Peace of Mind and Flexibility: The AHD-GYP-SS offers an extra layer of protection with its fire rating. Knowing you have a fire barrier in place provides peace of mind. It comes in standard sizes and offers optional features like gasketing, giving flexibility to suit your project requirements.
