With carbon reduction and energy efficiency driving the installation of cleaner heating solutions, the need to conceal exterior pipework and associated components forms an essential part of the final installation, which helps improves aesthetics while adding a level of physical protection to the system.
Arma metal pipe boxing provides a tough and versatile solution that helps protect against the risk of accidental damage or vandalism while also improving aesthetics and adding a uniform finish to the project.
Retrofit heat networks and district heating schemes typically require large quantities of lagged pipework to be secured to the exterior walls of properties, often rising several storeys on a residential block before the distribution pipework branches off to serve each flat.
For air source or ground source heat pump installations, the length of pipework required is usually considerably less than a large district heat network, but Arma metal pipe boxing is used for precisely the same reasons - to conceal and protect pipework, which in most cases are located close to the ground and within easy reach.
Bespoke manufactured from strong, lightweight and corrosion resistant aluminium, to the dimensions and requirements of individual projects, Arma boxing helps simplify installation while also enhancing the overall fit and finish.
Available with either a flange or angle fixing method, Arma profiles can be readily secured to external walls with suitable fixings, while lockable hinged access doors can also be incorporated to ease the routine inspection and maintenance of pipework.
PPC finishes in any BS or RAL paint colour can be specified to contrast or blend in with wall colours and surroundings, while a range of dedicated accessories is also available, which include internal and external corners, as well as joint covers and end caps.
A supply and install service from Encasement is also available on the Arma product range to provide specifiers and main contractors with a professional, expert solution that helps simplify the installation process.
