Back Boxes

Back boxes, also known as socket boxes, are used to house and protect electrical wiring and terminals behind sockets and switches. They provide a secure mounting point for electrical fittings while helping to keep cables contained.

The type of back box you need depends on how and where the wiring is installed. For example, surface-mounted installations typically require surface pattress or metal back boxes, while recessed wiring in stud walls uses dry lining boxes designed to sit flush within plasterboard.

Explore our range below, which includes surface pattress back boxes, metal clad and galvanised steel options for tougher environments, dry lining boxes for hollow walls, and both single (1 gang) and double (2 gang) sizes to suit different socket and switch configurations.
