Non-Conductive Enclosures for Switchboards and Control Panels
Electrical switchboards, control panels and junction boxes need enclosures and backing panels that will not conduct current, will not corrode, and can be drilled or cut without cracking. Rigid plastic sheet meets all three requirements and is far easier to modify on site than sheet steel.
Perspex Online supplies cut-to-size PVC, HDPE and acrylic panels for switchboard backing boards, DIN rail mounting plates, meter box covers and control panel enclosures, fabricated to the dimensions electricians and panel builders actually need rather than the nearest catalogue size.
PVC, HDPE or Acrylic: Matching Material to the Job
Rigid PVC sheet is a common choice for switchboard backing boards and enclosure bodies because it is self-extinguishing, easy to drill and tap, and holds up well in both indoor and semi-outdoor locations.
HDPE sheet is tougher and more impact-resistant, making it well suited to enclosure bases and mounting panels in workshops, factories and rural sheds where knocks are more likely. Acrylic sheet suits clear inspection windows and internal labelling panels where you need to see instrumentation or wiring without opening the enclosure.
Gland Plates, Mounting Panels and Cutouts
We CNC-cut gland plates and mounting panels with hole patterns matched to your cable glands, DIN rail, terminal blocks or isolators, so the panel is ready to wire into as soon as it arrives.
Cutouts for meters, switches, indicator lights and ventilation can all be machined in the same operation, saving on-site drilling time and keeping hole placement consistent across multiple boards.
Weatherproofing and Outdoor Enclosure Panels
For enclosures exposed to weather, HDPE and PVC both resist moisture and UV better than untreated timber or plain steel, and neither will rust in coastal or high-humidity locations.
We can also cut sacrificial gaskets or seal strips from softer sheet stock to pair with a rigid enclosure body, improving the weather seal around doors and cable entries.
Custom Sizes for Electricians and Panel Builders
Electricians and panel builders can send us a switchboard schedule, DIN rail layout or rough sketch and we will confirm sizing and cutouts before fabrication starts, so there are no surprises when the panel reaches site.
All panels are cut on our own CNC equipment on the Gold Coast and shipped Australia-wide, with ex GST pricing based on material and size. Get a quote for your next switchboard or enclosure panel.
