Surespan PaveVents have a pan type lid that supports the glass in a structural bond system, which has a slim sight line. Walk-on panels have a specially formed anti slip ceramic tempered onto the glass surface, printed in custom patterns or the standard finish.

The access cover does not have watertight properties but it is self draining. Any water passing the seals will be dispersed via an integral drainage channel, fitted with an optional ¾ inch flexible hose adaptor (for connection to drain by others). The edges of the covers can be vented or finished in a stainless steel trim.

Where a project does not require light transmission, the glazed top can be replaced with a plain floor access covers. Such unit, with a non-slip applicant infill can play a role of a horizontal smoke ventilator, such as those for ducting or shafts from lower basements.
