INfill ACCESS COVERS AND FRAMES
The ground beneath our feet can often be teeming with subsurface passages. These passages, ducts or trenches can carry service wiring or cabling; plumbing or drainage; mechanical heating or cooling shafts; ventilation or airing channels. All this chaos is camouflaged by smooth, even walkways, which would not be possible without hidden access covers and frames.
Access covers are installed on the surface to hide subsurface service points, stormwater pits, sewer infrastructure and underground services. These heavy duty covers prevent unwanted elements (like water onto an electric cable), or unauthorised access from occurring. Some may also be airtight covers, used to keep certain things in, such as offensive odours.
These versatile covers can be used anywhere – roads, pavements, walkways, carparks, driveways and internal floors. Different types of access covers come with various design features; for example, some can be lifted by just one person for those who work independently and others have been purpose-built, for frequent use by a maintenance team. Hidden access covers can either be hinged or lifted out with the aid of customer engineered lifting keys for ease of use.
Most access covers tend to be square or rectangular. They are designed to suit indoor and/or outdoor use and have been traditionally made from galvanised steel or aluminium. Access covers can be installed in a range of flooring including ceramic tiles, concrete, granite and so forth. Many applications require an aesthetically unobtrusive, subtle product, making ‘infill covers’ the ideal option.
INFILL COVERS BY PAIGE STAINLESS - Access all Areas
An infill cover is a type of access cover designed to be filled with the same material as the surrounding floor. When an infill cover is installed, all a passer-by can see is a 5mm thick metal line that belongs to the frame of the access cover. It has two parts – one is the frame which is installed inground. The second is a trough which fits into the frame on the bottom and appears as a slice of the flooring material on top.
Paige Stainless makes infill covers out of the highest quality of stainless steel and can recommend the right grade based on each application and environmental requirement (304 or 316 grade). Stainless steel provides a cost-effective solution for quality access covers, since it is durable and long-lasting. Unlike the alternatives, stainless steel is a more contemporary, aesthetically pleasing material, making it the ideal choice in locations where visual appeal and attention to detail are desirable.
Thanks to Paige Stainless’ capabilities of custom fabrication, infill covers can be custom-made for any project needs, including multipart. A range of access covers can be fabricated to suit any situation from larger access covers to lightweight access covers all designed to offer minimal interference within a space. Paige Stainless can also custom manufacture a wide range of stainless steel pits if required.
