What to Look For in a NEMA 4 Enclosure (And Why It Doesn't Have to Be Metal)
The Metal Alternative: Why Polycarbonate is the New Standard for NEMA 4
When engineering a standard control panel, defaulting to a painted carbon steel box is a habit. But choosing metal means you are choosing permanent dents, heavy lifting, and eventual rust.
Fibox engineered high-grade polycarbonate enclosures to beat carbon steel at its own game—delivering heavy-duty NEMA 4 protection without the heavy-metal drawbacks.

What Is a Non-Metallic Electrical Enclosure?
Electrical enclosures have traditionally been manufactured from painted steel, stainless steel, or fiberglass. However, advances in engineered polymers have made non-metallic electrical enclosures a preferred solution for many industrial and outdoor applications.
Today's polycarbonate enclosures offer exceptional durability while eliminating many of the challenges associated with traditional metal enclosures.
