Smoke control that protects your building and your compliance.
When smoke migration threatens compartmentation, your meter protection becomes a critical part of the fire strategy. Our smoke tested meter overboxes are engineered, verified, and trusted across UK projects where safety is non negotiable.We build overboxes that control smoke movement, protect utilities, and satisfy Building Control on the first inspection. Manufactured in the UK and delivered in days not weeks.
Most fire risks come from smoke, not flames. If smoke penetrates the compartment, occupants lose visibility, fire crews lose time, and the building loses compliance.A poor quality meter box becomes an easy path for smoke travel. Ours prevent that.At Rapid Access we manufacture smoke tested overboxes that restrict smoke movement, maintain pressure zones, and support the overall fire strategy of the building.
