he Pendock Profiles range of pipe boxing and casing solutions is one of the most comprehensive available for social housing


projects. Each product is designed for a specific purpose, but they are also versatile enough to be used on a range of pipe boxing applications. Incorporating the MXF, MX and TK pipe


boxing, dedicated to concealing all types of unsightly interior pipework, alongside BC boiler casings, CH channel boxing and the strong CHM and MXM metal boxing for external use, the range covers everything that’s required. Except for CHM / MXM metal boxing, all


products are manufactured from pre-formed plywood and are supplied pre-finished in durable melamine. This removes the need for time consuming on-site fabrication or painting, which saves time and money, as Pendock boxing can typically be fitted in under half the time of site- made alternatives. The widespread use of Pendock MXF fire


sprinkler boxing has helped speed sprinkler system installations on high-rise and low-rise residential fire safety improvement projects, as they’re quick and easy to fit, using screws, battens and dedicated accessories to conceal surface mounted pipework. Concealing boiler pipework, valves, regulators


and filters is equally simple with the BC range of boiler pipe casings, which are designed to be free standing. Four casing options are available, including jointed designs which can be supplied
