BA-FRDC

BA-FRDC Fire-Rated Recessed Drywall Ceiling Access Door

Fire-rated ceilings are built to slow the spread of fire for a specific period, but poorly designed access doors can weaken these barriers, reducing their effectiveness. Some models also protrude or stand out, making them difficult to blend into drywall surfaces. The BA-FRDC Fire-Rated Recessed Drywall Ceiling Access Door solves these challenges.

Its recessed design and perforated frame make it easy to apply a skim coat that blends effortlessly into drywall ceilings. Constructed from durable zinc-coated steel, it resists corrosion while maintaining its structural integrity over time. With a fire-rated, low-profile design, the BA-FRDC meets building codes without compromising the ceiling's clean, sleek appearance.

Why Should You Use the BA-FRDC?

• Seamless Ceiling Integration: The recessed design, fitted with 5/8" fire-rated drywall and perforated frame edges, allows trouble-free skim coat application, creating an invisible access point in the ceiling.
