Encasement’s simple solution to conceal fire sprinkler system pipework
W
here fire sprinkler systems are being installed or retro-fitted in tower blocks and flats, Encasement’s
‘Versa’ pipe boxing range provides the perfect cost effective solution for concealing sprinkler pipework. Manufactured from pre-formed FSC® certified
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 and communal areas, such as stairs and lift lobbies where sprinklers are required. Versa boxing can be used with standard sprinkler heads or concealed ‘pop-out’ units with cover caps. 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.
Encasement’s Managing Director, Martin
Taylor, commented “Our fire sprinkler boxing has already been installed on a large number of number of high rise refurbishment projects, where pipework and sprinklers need to be
concealed for both aesthetic and practical reasons. Not only are they cost effective and easy to install, but Encasement also holds a full FSC® ‘Chain of Custody’ certification, which certifies that our products are manufactured from sustainable timbers. This means that
local authorities can meet their compliance obligations under UK government procurement guidance.”

British designed and manufactured, Powermatic controlled, concealed door closers, from Samuel Heath, are gaining increasing popularity in both public and private housing sectors for use on fire doors in high-rise flats and apartments. The door closers carry the CE mark and have been independently tested and proved to meet the requirements for one hour and half-hour fire doors under BS EN 1634-1. They also offer operating efficiencies that facilitate compliance with accessibility requirements. Available in standard and Free Swing models, Powermatic door closers deliver additional benefits for flats and apartments thanks to the fact that they are totally concealed when the door is closed. This helps retain the aesthetics of interiors and assure a less institutionalised, more homely feel. Concealment also reduces the risk of the door closer being damaged through vandalism, misuse or tampering, which could render a fire door useless. It also means less maintenance call-outs and continued fire safety.
