The Tile Panel provides a
high quality opening for access to building services in ceramic
tiled walls. Each panel is made to suit the individual
tile & combination of tiles being used. This ensures
no unsightly tile cuts or visible frames to disrupt the overall
tiled finish. With whole tiles on the door face and no
disrupted tile joints the panel's position is then difficult to
identify.
The design utilises a
continuous piano hinge that limits door sag to a minimum thus
avoiding chipped tiles caused by the door dropping as it is
opened. As tile joints are normally no more than two or
three millimetres any fall in the door can cause tile
damage. Once adjusted for the weight of the tiles, the
design ensures no further door drop caused by play in the hinge
mechanism and no subsequent tile damage.
The panel comes finished
fully powder coated white with the door tray boarded as a base
for the tiles. The door tray can be removed after tiling
if required. Adjustment of the angle of the door tray is
achieved using schims behind the hinge bolts to achieve the
correct position. The door is fitted with either a budget
lock accessed by a chrome escutcheon to the outer face or with a
touch catch mechanism.
The panel is available
fire rated up to two
hours. The design is similar to the standard
door with the fire rating technology incorporated to the rear of
the panel. When fitted the fire rated panel is entirely
hidden behind the tiles.
Various lock, frame or
door tray options can be specified if a visible edge is required
for aesthetic purposes or if the panel is to be fitted after
tiling has been completed. Designed for standard tile
depths up to 10mm but deeper tiles can be used. Please
call for advice for use with marble tiles or drawings specific
to your
project.
