The time saving benefits and cost advantages of using pre-formed pipe boxing over site made alternatives are graphically demonstrated in a new split-screen live action video from Encasement, which compares the two methods side by side.
Encasement has always advocated that pre-formed pipe boxing can save time and money compared to site made options, as it’s simpler and quicker to install with no on-site fabrication or painting, as the boxing is also pre-finished.
For high volume users of pipe boxing, such as social housing providers and contractors, these reductions and the associated cost savings in labour, can provide significant improvements in budget utilisation and efficiency.
The video compares the time taken to box in a 2.5 metre length of pipework using Encasement’s 75mm x 150mm Versa boxing against site made boxing of the same size, fabricated from wood and MDF, showing the corresponding savings on installation time.
Encasement boxing can reduce installation time by up to seventy percent, along with the corresponding cost saving, while also removing the extra time needed for sanding, priming and painting. There’s also no need for multiple site visits, which can extend the overall time taken for site made boxing, from hours into days.
If the goal is to box in pipework faster, more cost-effectively and with less hassle, Encasement delivers quicker installation, a far simpler process, and a consistent, professional finish.
