What is Rapid Access's Design Service?

Our design service takes your project requirements — dimensions, performance ratings, wall build-ups and aesthetic preferences — and engineers a bespoke access solution that fits precisely. Every product is manufactured in-house at our UK facility, giving us full control over design, materials and lead times. Bespoke orders are typically delivered within 4 working days. Our technical team works alongside design to ensure compliance,.

Design Service

Why Work With Our Design Team?

Non-Standard Dimensions

Standard panel sizes don't always work. Whether it's an oversized riser opening, an awkward ceiling void or a tight service duct, we design and manufacture to the exact dimensions your project needs.

Performance to Specification

Need fire resistance up to 120 minutes, acoustic performance up to 48dB, airtightness or smoke testing? We design every bespoke product to meet the specific performance requirements of your project. All independently tested and certified.

Complex Wall Build-Ups

Different substrates, mixed construction types and non-standard frame depths are all part of the job. Our design team works with your wall build-up details to ensure a correct fit and compliant installation.

Aesthetic Requirements

From tile-faced panels that disappear into finishes, to plasterboard-faced solutions for seamless ceilings and walls, to clean metal-faced panels for utility areas. We match the product to the environment.

Process

From Brief to Delivery in 4 Steps

1

Share Your Requirements

Send us your drawings, schedules, or simply describe what you need. Our team will review the project details and identify the right solution.

2

Technical Review

Our design team assesses dimensions, performance requirements, wall build-ups and any project-specific constraints. We'll flag any issues and confirm what's achievable.

3

Proposal & Approval

We provide a detailed specification and quotation. You'll know exactly what you're getting, including dimensions, ratings, materials and lead time, before we proceed.

4

Manufacture & Deliver

Once approved, your bespoke products are manufactured in-house and dispatched. Standard bespoke lead time: 4 working days.
