Pedestal Boxes
Pedestal boxes are floor-mounted outlet housings that stand on the floor surface and bring power and data sockets up to desk level, without cutting into the floor. We stock Tass single and double pedestal boxes in black and white finishes.
Single versions present outlets on one face, while double-sided boxes serve desks or workstations on both sides. They are a practical choice for open-plan offices, classrooms and refurbishment projects. Buy at trade prices on account, and receive in-stock pedestal boxes on the next working day across Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland when you order by 5pm.
How to choose a pedestal box
Pedestal boxes give a neat way to provide power and data in the middle of a room. They are particularly useful where a floor cannot be chased or where layouts change regularly.
Pedestal box or floor box?
- Pedestal boxes sit on the surface of the floor, so there is no need to cut a recess. They are quick to fit and easy to relocate.
- Floor boxes are recessed into screed or raised floors, leaving a flush lid. They suit new builds and areas with heavy foot traffic.
Single or double sided
A single pedestal box has outlets on one face, ideal where it sits against a desk end or wall. A double pedestal box has outlets on two sides, so two desks or workstations facing each other can share one unit. Consider the number of sockets and data points required, including spare capacity for future equipment.
Choosing a finish
Black and white finishes are available, so you can match the box to flooring, furniture or the rest of the fit-out. White suits light interiors and many office layouts, while black is less visible against dark carpet and furniture.
Installation tips
Plan the cable route from below the floor, through a void, or from a nearby source, and ensure cables are protected where they enter the box. Fit compatible socket and data modules, such as Euro modules and accessories, and run suitable network cable for data outlets. Fix the box securely to the floor according to the manufacturer's instructions, and check current wiring regulations for the circuit and RCD protection requirements.
