Modular IP55 outdoor boxes and surface-mounted switch boxes: how to choose them

Modular IP55 outdoor boxes are not just technical accessories: they are essential components for the safety and functionality of exposed electrical systems, both in residential and commercial environments. Similarly, the surface-mounted switch box allows sockets and controls to be integrated in a versatile and safe way, even in contexts exposed to humidity and dust.

What is a switch box and what is it for?

The switch box is the element that houses electrical devices such as sockets, switches, push buttons, or multimedia connectors.

There are different types:

  • Wall-mounted switch box, suitable for traditional indoor installations
  • Surface-mounted switch box, ideal for exposed installations and humid environments
  • IP55 outdoor switch boxes, perfect for spaces that require maximum protection against weather and external agents

Outdoor electrical boxes: safety and resistance

Outdoor electrical boxes are distinguished by their protection rating: an IP55 waterproof box ensures that dust and water splashes do not compromise the performance of the system.
They are the right choice for:

  • Residential outdoor areas (gardens, terraces, verandas)
  • Industrial environments or historic buildings
  • Technical or commercial spaces exposed to dust and humidity

Design outdoor boxes: materials and modularity by Genuit

Traditional outdoor boxes for electrical sockets usually host only basic functions (such as switches and sockets) and are made from low-grade, less durable plastics. Genuit modular solutions, instead, combine durable materials with aesthetic design, making it possible to integrate:

  • USB sockets for fast charging of mobile devices
  • RCA sockets and multimedia connections for audio-video systems
  • International sockets for hospitality spaces and global offices
  • Light switches and dimmers for elegant lighting control
  • Design multi-sockets, combining practicality and aesthetics

For example, Wallbox, a modular surface-mounted switch box, is an easy-to-install system that represents the evolution of exposed electrical systems: less invasive than traditional solutions, it offers a refined and functional industrial design. Integrated polypropylene adapters ensure secure pipe fastening, while the modularity of the system allows the electrical installation to be repositioned and adapted to project needs, always maintaining a contemporary, high-quality look.

Modular surface-mounted boxes and junction boxes

Depending on the type of installation, it is possible to choose:

  • Modular surface-mounted boxes, ideal when no masonry work is required
  • IP55 junction boxes, necessary for the safe distribution of cables in complex systems

The value of design in electrical systems: finishes and materials

Beyond technical function, Genuit takes care of the design of its solutions. The finishes of outdoor boxes – such as Silver, Graphite, Corten, or Copper – allow seamless integration with furnishings and architectural materials, turning them into an aesthetic as well as functional detail.

Choosing a surface-mounted IP55 switch box or a Genuit modular IP55 outdoor box means opting for solutions that guarantee:

  • Protection and safety thanks to IP55 rating
  • Versatility and modularity for custom configurations
  • Design and finishes aligned with the most demanding architectural projects
