Description
Double sealed recessed manhole covers provide a discreet access solution while offering enhanced sealing performance compared to standard access covers. Designed with a recessed aluminium tray, these covers can be infilled with paving, tile or resin finishes to create a flush surface that blends seamlessly into patios, driveways and landscaped areas.
The double sealed design incorporates a sealed frame and lid interface, helping to reduce odour transfer and limit surface water ingress into the chamber below. This makes them particularly suitable for residential installations and areas close to buildings where improved containment is required.
Sealed Manhole Cover Design
Unlike traditional solid-top covers, double sealed recessed covers feature an integrated sealing system between the frame and lid. This provides:
- Improved resistance to odour escape
- Reduced surface water and debris ingress
- Enhanced performance in residential environments
- A more secure and stable cover once infilled
The 60mm deep tray allows the surrounding surface material to be installed within the cover, ensuring a consistent and visually seamless finish.
Key Features
- Double sealed frame and lid system
- 60mm recessed tray depth for paving or tile infill
- Helps reduce odour transfer and water ingress
- Suitable for patios, driveways and landscaped areas
- Aluminium construction for durability and corrosion resistance
- Flush finish for concealed access points
