In many ways, the design of the ceiling plane is far more complex than the floor plane. It’s challenging enough to draw or model a ceiling that coordinates all the lighting, diffusers, sprinklers, loudspeakers, cameras, and WAPs while providing all the necessary access points to maintain all that HVAC equipment above. How many times have you been caught by surprise during construction when a contractor insists on a new access panel location? How do you accommodate that without completely ruining the symmetry or alignments you worked so hard to achieve in the first place? The access doors and panels we present in our Collection today are some of your best options for minimizing the visual impact on your design.

Whether for sheetrock, tile, or GFRC, if you see a concealed access panel you like, add it to your Personal Library or project in Arazoo.
