DIY Inspiration: Crawl space hatch finished with concrete plywood, by Michel

Unique DIY Project: Crawl Space Hatch

Do you dream of a convenient access to your crawl space that also looks stylish? Michel shows how you can make this dream come true with a little creativity and the right materials. This inspiration project shows a custom-made hatch cover, realized using dark brown Betonplex Birch panels, neatly finished with a high-quality edge sealer.

The process from A to Z

Michel started by accurately measuring the required panels to ensure the perfect fit for his crawl space. These panels were cut to size by TOSIZE.pl, after which Michel himself took care of the finishing and installation. The edges of the concrete plywood were carefully treated with a transparent edge sealer, which protects the wood from moisture and gives it a longer lifespan.

The perfect addition to the entrance area

Michel's renovated shutter is located in the entrance area of his home. The dark brown concrete plywood contrasts beautifully with the lighter shades of the walls and floor. Thanks to the glossy surface and neat finish, the shutter fits seamlessly into the modern and inviting atmosphere of this space.

Benefits of self-realization

By realizing this project himself, Michel not only saved a lot of money, but also had the freedom to choose the materials himself and to fully customize the dimensions. This flexibility means that the hatch is exactly as Michel had envisioned it, resulting in a high-quality look and durability.

The completed project: Style and functionality hand in hand

In terms of style, Michel goes for a timeless look that matches the interior of his home. The dark brown concrete plywood has a sleek, modern look that can be combined with both classic and contemporary interiors.

The advantages of Birch Concrete Plywood

Concrete plywood Birch Dark Brown of 18 mm thick is not only strong and durable, it also offers a surprising aesthetic advantage for this type of project. The smooth surface is easy to keep clean and the dark brown color remains beautiful for a long time, even with regular use of the hatch.
