jfb Posted May 29 Posted May 29 Looking to put in place a board for easy/secure fixing of a CU. It’s a stone wall so much easier to have a wooden backing board. are you allowed these days to use a wooden board?
JohnMo Posted May 29 Posted May 29 My electrician used mdf. No paint of any kind. No comment from his boss when he came to sign off or building control.
Gone West Posted May 29 Posted May 29 (edited) We used a fire retardant meter board, which is all that is supplied off the shelf. https://www.cef.co.uk/catalogue/products/1939242-24-inch-x-12-inch-flame-retardant-meter-board https://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Products/TLFB2418.html Edited May 29 by Gone West
Alan Ambrose Posted May 29 Posted May 29 Interesting, who knew? MDF with some 'retardant'? Cement board would be a thing, but the GRP kiosks I bought all came with thick-ish ply.
SteamyTea Posted May 29 Posted May 29 8 minutes ago, Alan Ambrose said: GRP kiosks Probably made with a fire retardant resin. MDF is really hard to set alight, as are some ply woods. Depends on the binder/adhesive used.
ProDave Posted May 29 Posted May 29 Most meter boxes seem to come with just a very thin bit of quite ordinary looking chipboard to fix to. 1
