GRP Cabinets
The Housings category covers glass reinforced plastic cabinets and walk-in enclosures for housing equipment, controls and metering on commercial and industrial sites. Rated IP55 and fitted with stainless steel hinges, they are built for permanent outdoor installation. The range runs from a single door cabinet up to a walk-in enclosure with an APEX roof. The key differences among the products include:

Type: Single door and double door cabinets, plus walk-in enclosures with a flat or an APEX roof.
Construction: Available in single skin GRP or with a 12mm ply core for added rigidity.
Security: Supplied with stainless steel hinges and a cylinder night latch lock.
Fit Out: Plywood backboards for mounting equipment, with lifting eyes on the larger enclosures.

When choosing a housing, check the internal dimensions against the equipment going inside and consider how it will be lifted into position on site.

What is the difference between a cabinet and a walk-in enclosure?

A cabinet is opened from the outside to reach the equipment inside, while a walk-in enclosure is large enough to step into, which suits larger equipment or anything needing regular attention.

What does the IP55 rating mean?

IP55 means the enclosure is protected against dust and against low pressure water jets from any direction, which makes it suitable for permanent outdoor installation.

What is the difference between single skin GRP and a 12mm ply core?

Single skin GRP is a moulded shell on its own. A 12mm ply core adds a plywood layer within the moulding for extra rigidity, which is useful on larger panels and where equipment is mounted to the walls.

How are the cabinets secured?

Cabinets are supplied with stainless steel hinges and a cylinder night latch lock as standard.

What is the APEX roof option?

An APEX roof is pitched rather than flat, so rainwater runs off rather than standing on the roof. It is the most common option across the walk-in enclosures.
