Back Box Liners

[ianmacd]

Hey all.

I remember reading somewhere about some back box liners that could be used to comply with other building regulations (mainly B, E & L1 if memory searves) but can not reacall what they are called so can not find them on the tinterweb.

Has anyone seen/heard of these at all (or is this something I should be taking to the patent office abour )?

Ian.

Is it to do with fire prevention type regs Ian? if it is then Neweys do membranes that go inside a backbox.

Thats probably the ones. Not sure of their proper name though. I thought they could be used if switches were in a stud wall back to back.

They are close but the ones I saw went inside the box rather than outside.

Ian I have seen the ones that you are after, best bet would be to nip down to your local Neweys as they should stock them.

These are needed if you cut into a wall that is fire rated or acoustically rated so you do not leave it in a worse state than before.
