how to gain underfloor
access the easy way
hen it comes to cutting
holes in floors - dead
easy! An off-cut of ply
or chipboard, a few short lengths of
softwood, half a dozen two inch
screws, maybe a few choice words, as
I said, easy.
Of course that’s forgetting the
electric cable you cut through and
the pierced water pipe that brought
the kitchen ceiling down!

Now, how about the really easy way,
the Trend Routabout. A truly unique
product for gaining underfloor
access. Easy and safe to use, does
the job quickly and professionally and
leaves you with a neat flush cover
that provides instant access the next
time you need it.

Old Way
Compared to the traditional
method that is time and labour
consuming and likely to squeak
every time it’s walked on, the
Routabout is undoubtedly the
modern answer to an age old
problem.

Using the Routabout
system is very quick. It
takes about five minutes
to cut and complete the
access hole. A neat flush
surface is left that won’t
be noticeable under a
fitted carpet, and it won’t
give way even under heavy
domestic loads.
