Daiken Co., Ltd., a comprehensive manufacturer of architectural hardware and exterior building materials based in Osaka, has announced the release of its new FAT model floor inspection access panel, set to launch on February 12, 2026. This innovative product is specifically designed for use in retail environments and various facilities, making maintenance and inspections more convenient for building managers.
What is a Floor Inspection Access Panel?
A floor inspection access panel is an essential component in any building, providing a means to inspect plumbing, wiring, and structural elements. With a well-designed access point, maintenance crews can easily address issues such as leaks or structural inspections without extensive disruption to the flooring.
Features of the New FAT Model
The FAT model offers three different sizes—300mm, 450mm, and 600mm—allowing for customization according to the tile design of the installation location. This feature not only enhances the aesthetic finish but also ensures seamless integration with existing floor tiles. The FAT model is engineered to withstand a uniformly distributed load of 5kN/m², making it safe for high-traffic areas typical of commercial settings.
The panel accommodates tile thicknesses ranging from 8mm to 12mm. Installation varies slightly based on the method; for floating floors, it attaches to a particle board, while conventional installations are secured to a supporting frame with screws. An added advantage is the simplified locking mechanism using hexagon socket screws to deter tampering, further enhancing the product's security.
Pricing Information
Below is a breakdown of the FAT model pricing, exclusive of consumption tax, shipping, and installation costs:
| Model | Outer Frame Dimensions (mm) | Price (Excluding Tax) |
|---|
| --- | ------ | ----- |
| FAT30 | 300 | ¥38,000 |
| FAT45 | 450 | ¥40,000 |
