The Right Choice: How to Select the Perfect Size KSTC Sesame Ceiling Hatch
Posted by Access Doors and Panels on 19th Apr 2023
Some commercial builders recommend the installation of special ceiling attic access doors to match the unique needs of their ceilings' functionality and aesthetic. Our KSTC Sesame Concealed Hatch exhibits features that suit the main grid types—concealed and exposed grid systems. To get to know the purpose of our KSTC panels, let's first get to know the two primary grid systems:
- Exposed grid system: The exposed type of grid system are the traditional look commercial builders often install on establishments with suspended ceiling grid. With this grid type, builders fit tiles above and leave the crisscross patterned runners exposed. It will then give the commercial space a professional appearance with separate tiles displayed and the entire grid supported.
- Concealed grid system: Contrary to the system implemented in the exposed grid, the tiles here in concealed grid snugly fit from below. The runner gets placed within the ceiling cavity behind the tiles, granting a minimalist and seamless effect.
Hence, if you install either of these grid systems, our KSTC hatch protects your facility fixtures or crawling spaces placed at your ceiling attic securely, discouraging unauthorized access while enabling easy access for maintenance and repair specialists. Aside from these benefits, our sesame-concealed doors are well-known for the following powerful features:
- Compatible for installment in both concealed and exposed grid systems as its open to receive tiles
- Constructed 20 gauge celled rolled steel material
- It grants a convenient 90° angle opening
- Removable sesame doors
- Provides Plastic grommets and square head key wrench operated lock and latch system
- It comes with a concealed pivot rod hinge
- Flame retardant polyurethane gasketing
- Finished with rust-inhibitive electrostatic powder, baked grey enamel prime coat
If these feature sets are on your mind, you should take advantage of the chance to add our KSTC sesame-concealed ceiling access panels to your cart. Check out its full specifications to discover the product's more detailed information.
Apart from the type of ceiling and attic access doors commercial builders should install in an area, they are also specific when picking the right size of ceiling hatch to attach to buildings. Our KSTC sesame panels are available in two different standard sizes:
- 24" x 24" weighing 19 lbs

When contemplating which door dimensions to purchase, you must take note of the factors:
