Application

  • Insulated housing for mounting over a roof opening, with provisions for the weathering of ducts, pipes and cables as they exit a riser onto a roof.
  • Can be ordered with various base options to allow integration with most roof constructions, including cold, inverted and green roofs.

Description

Bespoke modular riser-weathering cabinet to suit specific size requirement.


Features and benefits:

  • Insulated aluminium construction provides enhanced thermal performance and helps to prevent condensation.
  • Polyester powder-coating (PPC) provides a durable finish.
  • Modular frame and panel system with removable lid allows easy access for the installation of services such as cables, pipes and ducts through the cabinet.
  • Engineered flashings provided to MEP services to ensure an effective and durable seal.
  • Can be retrofitted to existing kerb upstands and around existing services - allows flexible program sequencing.
  • Additional weathering hoods available for weathering multiple service penetrations as they pass through the side of the cabinet.
  • Supplied in kit form, easy to handle and suitable for fast assembly on site.
  • Compatible with the ROOFBOX® K modular kerb upstand system, which are available in a range of heights (to be specified separately). Alternatively, ROOFBOX® cabinets can be provided to suit site-formed kerbs.
  • Part of a range of cabinets in various standard and bespoke configurations (specified separately).
  • Ten-year product warranty as standard. An enhanced 20-year guarantee against leaks is also available for UK projects, subject to a successful warranty application at design stage and a post-installation inspection.

Configuration

-

Manufacturer guidance

Include information on the configuration of the box, e.g. side entry, louvres, opening lid, side access panels, etc.

Refer to drawings or proprietary reference, where appropriate.


Weathering accessories specified separately as required.


Where the standard configurations in the Roofbox M range are not suitable, a bespoke solution can be manufactured to suit larger or different size or shaped riser openings and in taller heights. These roof cabinets can also be configured to interface with parapet walls, corners and lift overruns. Contact manufacturer with detailed riser opening requirements.

When mounted on a concrete kerb upstand, an aluminium skirt flashing detail can be utilized at the base of the unit, to weather over the insulation on the face of a concrete kerb.
