UK Boxings – a range of simple solutions for pipe and fire sprinkler boxing

For more than 20 years, UK Boxings has been manufacturing its wide range of pipe boxing at its Chesterfield site to meet the needs of social housing contractors, local authorities and housing associations requiring a quick, cost effective and robust method of concealing interior pipework.

Manufactured from 9mm thick moisture resistant MDF, our products are already used in ongoing repair, maintenance and improvement (RMI) projects to hide unsightly heating system pipework, boiler pipes and flues, as well as concealing fire sprinkler system pipework in high rise blocks.

In addition to our standard fire sprinkler pipe boxing, we have recently introduced a flame retardant (FR) sprinkler boxing option, for use where flame retardant boxing is specified, which is manufactured from 12mm thick Euroclass B compliant material. Both ranges are available in two-sided ‘L’ shaped and three-sided ‘U’ shaped profiles.

For increased versatility when boxing in sprinkler pipework, both our FR and non-FR ranges are supported by a range of dedicated accessories, which includes internal and external corners, as well as stop ends, fixing battens and screws.

Supplied in 2400mm lengths, as well as a 3050mm option for our non-FR range, each is available in 65 different standard profile sizes for easy selection, although bespoke dimensions can also be manufactured to order.

Quick to install, they can be easily cut to length and drilled to fit around the individual sprinkler heads, before securing using timber battens and screws, which also allows easy access for routine inspections.
