7500 Series - Medium Duty Aluminium and Stainless Steel Access Covers
Aluminium and stainless steel floor access cover for hard floors to give easy, safe access to concealed services where a heavier loading is required.
"We used over 60 of Howe Green’s 7500 Series floor access covers for a major project involving the expansion of King’s Cross tube station. In this highly demanding environment we needed to be confident that the access covers could handle vast footfall and prevent the passage of fire through service channels. Product quality combined with Howe Green’s expertise made the project plain sailing!"
