Glass Fiber Reinforced Gypsum Ceiling Access Panels
Stealth Access Panels by Wind-lock® are glass fiber reinforced gypsum (GFRG) access panels designed to blend seamlessly into a ceiling. They consist of a surround frame with pre-spotted fastener holes and a drop-in door. Available in multiple, standard, commercial and residential sizes, Stealth panels are perfect for jobs where access is required at regular intervals.
Lightweight and easily textured, the panels can be used in both new and retrofit construction across unlimited applications. Their smart design helps contractors work smarter, faster and better. The Stealth panel is designed for 5/8″ drywall and features a tapered edge for tape joints. If using 1/2″ drywall, additional joint compound and feathering may be needed for finish. The residential models incorporate an energy-saving gasket seal that keeps attic temperatures from infiltrating living space. Stealth Access Panels provide an aesthetically pleasing, “out of the closet” solution for a more attractive interior.
