Access doors are generally produced in three different material types: cold rolled steel, stainless steel and plastic. MIFAB uses a superior material; satin coated galvanized steel that is coated with a white finish unless otherwise specified. Stainless steel material is often required when access doors are located in areas of high visibility or areas susceptible to salt spray. The stainless steel is typically type 304 with a brushed #4 finish unless specified as type 316 for acid resistance. Plastic access doors are common in residential
and mobile home construction and for motor
access in whirlpools. They offer a clean finish and
are resistant to corrosion. A UV stabilizer in the
styrene plastic reduces susceptibility to harsh
environmental conditions.
