Non-Metal, Plastic/PVC, Fiberglass Enclosure

When metal just won’t cut it.

When you need to protect your electrical equipment, getting the right enclosure is crucial. Stainless steel and metal enclosures are popular, but there are many other materials out there that could work for you. Non metallic enclosures like fiberglass electrical enclosures, plastic enclosures/PVC enclosures and polycarbonate enclosures can provide exceptional protection, and even have some attributes that are hard to come by with metal. Used indoors, non metallic electrical enclosures are found throughout industrial and commercial applications and come in most indoor NEMA ratings.

Both polycarbonate and fiberglass enclosures are extremely cost-effective, and are great options for indoor applications rather than outdoor, since they can both warp and deteriorate with extended exposure to sunlight.

The many advantages of fiberglass and polycarbonate enclosures.

PVC and plastic enclosures have many advantages in heavy-duty applications. For one, fiberglass electrical enclosures and polycarbonate enclosures are some of the most corrosion resistant enclosures around. Fiberglass in particular is especially resistant to chemicals, is easy to work with, and is also an electric insulator so not only are does it protect your hardware, but it protects you and any maintenance workers or technicians. Polycarbonate enclosures have most of the advantages as fiberglass and are also aesthetically pleasing, so they are commonly used in indoor applications where the enclosure is visible. However, polycarbonate enclosures do not have the same level of chemical resistance as fiberglass.
