The 7500 Series is a popular choice for commercial and retail premises where a heavier loading or larger sized cover may be required.
It is suitable for supermarkets, indoor shopping centres, sports and athletics centres, car showrooms where a medium-duty, tamper-resistant access cover is required to enable maintenance personnel easy access to mechanical equipment and underfloor-based building services.
Stainless Steel covers are suitable for external heavily trafficked paved areas such as railway stations and airport terminals where a larger size may be required to cover access to drainage or a thicker, non-wearing flooring option has been specified.

"We used over 60 of Howe Green's 7500 Series Floor Access Covers for a major project involving the expansion of King's Cross Underground Station. In this highly challenging and demanding environment, we needed to be confident that the Floor Access Covers installed could handle vast amounts of footfall and prevent the passage of fire through service channels. Howe Green's products are the best – the quality of the 7500 Series combined with Howe Green's technical expertise and willingness to help made what could have been a stressful aspect to the project plain sailing!"
