Smoke Control. Proven Integrity. Built for Compliance.
Smoke moves faster than fire. The right panel slows it down and keeps people safe. Our Smoke Rated Access Panels are tested and certified to maintain compartmentation and stop smoke spread in critical zones.Manufactured in the UK for performance, speed, and total confidence on site.

Regulations now demand tighter compartmentation and smoke sealing across service risers, corridors, and protected routes.Our panels are designed to do exactly that — maintain smoke integrity while still giving clean, easy access to building services.When you specify Rapid Access, you get compliance without compromise.
