Roof Shields for Future-Ready Electrical Enclosures

Future-Ready Protection from Rain, Sun & Environmental Stress

IP Enclosures offers a high-quality range of roof shields engineered for both steel and stainless steel electrical enclosures. Suitable for retrofitting to flat-roof enclosures or integrating into new installations where a sloping roof is not practical, roof shields provide long-term protection against rain, UV exposure, and thermal stress. By adding a roof shield, operators gain an extra layer of resilience that keeps enclosures future-ready for evolving environmental and compliance demands.

Why Roof Shields Matter

Roof shields help prevent the accumulation of water, corrosive agents, dust, minerals, and debris on enclosure surfaces which are common factors that accelerate coating breakdown, corrosion, and material fatigue. In addition, by reducing direct solar load, roof shields minimise internal temperature rise, to protect sensitive electrical components and reduces the risk of thermal-related failures. This added protection directly supports enclosure performance, helping maintain protection of components in the toughest conditions over the enclosure’s design life.

Engineered to Standards & Built to Last

Every roof shield is designed to complement our range of electrical enclosures that meet IEC/EN 60529 ingress protection ratings (IP55/IP66), helping maintain compliance and reliability. Manufactured from powder-coated galvanised steel and grade 316L stainless steel, they are built for durability in demanding conditions.

Simple, IP-Safe Installation

For ease of installation, all IP Enclosures’ electrical enclosures are pre-fitted with encapsulated nutserts, allowing roof shields to be mounted securely without drilling, preserving structural integrity and ingress protection. Supplied complete with fasteners, roof shields can be fitted quickly to both new and existing enclosures. This forward-thinking design allows industries to maintain reliable, future-ready electrical enclosures that perform in even the most demanding environments.
