Saving time & money with Encasement fire sprinkler boxing

Housing Thu, Sep 22, 2022 1:50 PM


Where fire sprinkler systems are being retro-fitted in social housing tower blocks and flats, Encasement’s Versa range provides a cost effective, durable and easy-fit solution when boxing-in surface mounted fire sprinkler pipework.

Manufactured from pre-formed UKTR compliant plywood and pre-finished in a durable white melamine, Versa ‘L’ shaped boxing is available in either 5mm or 8mm thicknesses for use within flats, as well as communal areas, such as corridors and lift lobbies.

Available in a wide range of sizes, Versa sprinkler pipe boxing helps save on installation time, as there’s no need for fabrication or painting on site. All that’s required is for the boxing to be cut to length and holes drilled for the sprinkler heads, before securing to the wall or ceiling.

Designed for use with standard sprinkler heads and concealed ‘pop-out’ units with cover caps, Versa fire sprinkler boxing provides a more aesthetic finish to each project while also containing sprinkler system components and acting as a visible barrier to potential tampering.

If a flame retardant solution is specified, our Versa FR boxing has been specifically developed to meet this requirement. Manufactured from flame retardant Euroclass B compliant board, Versa FR is designed primarily for use on high-rise residential projects.

Our experience working with contractors on countless social housing pipe-boxing projects, has demonstrated that Versa can usually be fitted in less than half the time of site made alternatives. In addition, as they’re pre-finished, there’s no painting required on site, making them more cost effective to install whilst helping minimise disruption for tenants, due to shorter timescales.

Versa is part of the Encasement range of pipe boxing and casing solutions for the housing sector.
