Galvanised steel light fitting loft cover

Thursday, August 18th, 2011

Galvanised steel loft light fitting protective cover

We were pleased to look at this new sheet metal project for an existing customer as it meant keeping some press work in the UK here in Fareham, Hampshire.  These galvanised steel enclosures are used to stop loft insulation from smothering any down light fittings that may be fitted to upstairs ceilings and protruding into the loft void above.  The sheet metal enclosures are easy to fit being adjustable for the standard loft timber spacing. They are supplied in a flat pack form for ease of storage at our customer factory and transport to the installing contractors.

We manufacture each item of sheet metal work from a rolled coil of galvanised steel which is fed through our CNC de-coiler line and into our HME power press. They are produced by one action in a dedicated power press tool. They are then packed, including an instruction sheet and labelled up by us and delivered directly to our customer’s stores ready for them to send out to their customers when needed.

If you have a project that might need sheet metal work in higher numbers than that which may be suitable for CNC punching why not give us a call and we can look into press tooling for you.  You might be surprised at how cost effective it can be on projects with lower quantities as well where complex piercing is needed.
