Key Features & Benefits
Maintenance
Regular maintenance of HVAC equipment is essential to meeting your Duty of Care obligations and ensuring the safety and well-being of employees and contractors. Providing safe, compliant access allows maintenance activities to be carried out efficiently while reducing risk and operational downtime.
High Strength & Wind Resistance
Tested and certified for Category C wind regions, our HVAC access systems are engineered to perform in extreme conditions, including cyclonic environments. This ensures long-term durability and confidence in even the harshest climates.
Load Ratings up to 5kPa
Our custom-designed HVAC screens are available in heights up to 2400mm. When combined with spreader profiles, the system achieves load ratings of up to 5kPa, delivering exceptional strength without compromising functionality or design.
Reduced Noise Pollution
HVAC plant operates continuously to maintain indoor comfort but can generate significant noise levels. The integration of acoustic screens and slats helps to substantially reduce noise emissions, improving occupant comfort and delivering better environmental outcomes.
