Custom Access Panels!🙌

At PMC we understand that every job has its individual requirements which is why we supply custom access panels such as fire rated panels, acoustic panels, security panels and also custom sized panels.

• Fire Rated Panels🔥 (Pictured on left)

Fire rated panels are specifically designed panels that provide access to concealed spaces while maintaining fire resistance in buildings. These panels are assigned fire ratings based on their ability to withstand fire for a specific duration, such as 1 hour, 2 hours as well as 2 hour 2 way panels.

•Acoustic Panels 🔊 (Pictured on right)

Acoustic panels are specialised panels designed to provide access to concealed spaces while also offering soundproofing or acoustic insulation properties. Commonly used in environments where noise control is priority, such as theatres, recording studios, conference rooms etc. Acoustic panels are assigned ratings that indicate their effectiveness in reducing sound transmission, expressed in decibels (dB).

If you need to access your ceiling we have a panel to suit your requirement, if we don’t we’ll get one made! 🙌

3 Reasons why it’s important to use Furring Channel in Wet Areas: 🚿

• Structural Integrity 💪

Furring Channels provide a sturdy framework onto which Villaboard or Wet Area Plasterboard can be securely attached. This ensures the surface remains flat, level, and capable of supporting the weight of tiles and other fixtures.

•Ventilation

Furring Channels create a small but essential air gap between the board and the structural elements of the wall. The gap allows moisture to dissipate rather than being trapped within the wall. This is especially important in high-humidity areas like North Queensland.

• Easy Electrical and Plumbing Access 🔌

Furring channels establish a practical cavity behind the board, providing a convenient pathway for routing wiring and plumbing fixtures.

Are you compliant with the revised fastener standards?

As of the 1st of May 2023, the standard for “design of post-installed and cast-in fastenings in concrete’ has evolved. The recently released AS 5216:2021 introduces additional requirements for assessing fastener safety.

The most relevant change impacting post-installer anchors is the introduction of design for fasteners under seismic action.

If you’d like to read more about these changes and when/where they apply we have a new blog post on our website. 👌
