jfb Posted Thursday at 11:44 Posted Thursday at 11:44 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?
Conor Posted Thursday at 11:57 Posted Thursday at 11:57 Yes, I used MDF and painted with intumescent paint.
JohnMo Posted Thursday at 12:14 Posted Thursday at 12:14 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 Thursday at 14:51 Posted Thursday at 14:51 (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 Thursday at 14:51 by Gone West
Alan Ambrose Posted Thursday at 17:51 Posted Thursday at 17:51 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 Thursday at 18:01 Posted Thursday at 18:01 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 Thursday at 18:13 Posted Thursday at 18:13 Most meter boxes seem to come with just a very thin bit of quite ordinary looking chipboard to fix to. 1
