I believe everyone would agree that access to plumbing, electrical, mechanical and other “hidden” requirements of a 21st Century construction project are a necessity. And, as there are inherent limits to where this access can be found, the ceiling is often the most obvious choice. To this point, there is very little debate.
What is not quite so obvious relative to these numerous ubiquitous necessities, is the age old building construction argument of form vs. function. Do we compromise aesthetics for performance, or performance at the expense of appearance? Well, with glass fiber reinforced gypsum Access Panels, one is never forced to concede one for the other, as both are built into each and every panel.
