Cubicles are installed in the most varied environments, from office buildings to workshops and manufacturing centers.
SICUBE system cubicles are designed for all these environments. In their standard versions, they offer the following degrees of protection:
- System cubicles without ventilation: IP40 and IP54
- System cubicles with ventilation: IP30 and IP40.
If you require other degrees of protection to those offered by the standard versions, simply give us a call.
