The SIMON Simonbox IP66 floor outlet was the first mini floor box to address the design challenge of making a waterproof floor outlet which is easy to access and easy to use. There are no lids to unscrew or additional parts to assemble. Just pop open the lid using the standard slide or the Allen key security mechanism. Internally the outlet is available with either a UK 13amp or 5amp socket. When in use, the outlet meets the IP20 standard and when closed IP66. The floor-box is available with either a stainless steel or brass surface finish. There are 2 back boxes to choose from depending on floor type – screed or raised/suspended floor. When installed in a concrete floor, the floor-box is designed to sit flush with the surrounding floor surface. The raised floor version is typically used in decking projects and sits slightly elevated, which prevents water pooling around the floor-box. Internally, the back box has a self-drain opening.
Strategically positioned floor boxes significantly improve the functionality of a space and help prevent unsightly and dangerous trailing cables. The SIMONBOX is often used in projects that require an occasional floor outlet, such as pop-up display areas. The SIMON floor box has proven popular in a wide range of commercial applications such as airports, car showrooms, shop fitouts and concourse areas. Over 10 years ago, one of the first UK retail chains to specify the SIMONBOX was NEXT HOME. To this day the SIMONBOX has remained a part of NEXT’s commercial fitout specification. Over those years we have also seen the increasing popularity of installing the SIMONBOX in private domestic projects, as well as in larger commercial applications.
The SIMONBOX is CE and UKCA certified. It is available through your local electrical wholesaler or online.
