Installed Costs

Impartial studies and comprehensive assessments of the installed cost of Pendock's pipe boxing casing systems have been undertaken against conventional site made alternatives. Pendock's one piece construction of the pipe boxing allows simple and quick installation and the pre finished nature of the product (white melamine) negates the need for site decoration. The combined effect of these factors results in a dramatic reduction in cost and installation time.

Material Summary

The preforming process uses heat and pressure applied to bonded layers of wood veneers to produce a strong, lightweight profile which will retain consistent shape and form.

Moisture Content and Stability

The manufacturing process results in moisture content of between 8% and 10%. This ensures greater stability than normal timber.

Fire Spread

When tested in accordance with BS 476 part 7. Pendock casings achieve a Class 2 surface spread of flame. When applying fire retardant laminates pipe boxing achieves Class 1 Y spread of flame

It should be noted that Class 1Y spread of flame rating does not provide structural fire protection in its own right.

Fixing

Pendock pipe boxings' are screw fixed through the face to soft wood battens available as part of the system, allowing easy removal without damage to existing decor and facilitating future access for maintenance requirements.

All casings are designed to be installed using countersinking screws, available from Pendock in a black or zinc finish.

Mechanical fixings may be obscured by the design the installed systems or discreetly positioned within shadow gaps/feature joints.
Where casings are fixed through the product surface, decorative caps are available to complement the colour of the casing.

Should post-installation access not be required, casings may be fixed with an appropriate adhesive.
