Floor Boxes, Socket Plates & Faceplates
FAQs
Floor boxes are recessed enclosures installed into raised or solid floors to provide convenient access to power, data, and telecom connections. They are commonly used in offices, meeting rooms, classrooms, and retail spaces, where desk level trunking may not be suitable and a tidy, low profile solution is required.
3 way floor boxes are designed to house three accessory plates (such as sockets or data outlets).
4 way floor boxes offer more capacity with four accessory plates, ideal for spaces that require a higher density of outlets.
The choice depends on how many power and data points are needed at each floor access location.
Key considerations include:
- Box depth and size to ensure it fits the floor void and accommodates required wiring.
- Lid design, like options with brush inserts or cable outlets allow cables to pass neatly even when the lid is closed.
- Load rating, especially important in areas with foot traffic or where cleaning machines will be used.
- Accessory compatibility, ensure the box supports standard socket plates and modules used in your installation.
Accessories include:
- Accessory plates for fitting sockets, data outlets, or AV connectors.
- Dividers to separate power and data compartments inside the box.
- Extension sleeves to adjust box height for different floor depths.
- Spare lids and frames for maintenance or when changing layouts.
These accessories help customise the floor box to specific project requirements.
