Surface Cover System Benefits

Surface covers provide essential protection for electrical connections while offering easy access for maintenance and modifications. Unlike flush-mounted alternatives, raised surface covers create additional wiring space without requiring deeper electrical boxes, making them ideal for retrofit applications and situations where wall depth is limited. The steel construction ensures long-term durability and maintains proper grounding continuity throughout the electrical system.

Why Choose Steel Construction?

Steel surface covers offer superior strength and durability compared to plastic alternatives, making them the preferred choice for commercial and industrial applications. The material provides excellent impact resistance, maintains dimensional stability over time, and offers better fire resistance characteristics. For electrical contractors, steel covers represent a professional-grade solution that reduces callbacks and ensures long-term customer satisfaction in demanding environments.
