Advantages of Metal Enclosures
- Metal enclosures are resistant to the elements, so if your box is located outside, the metal enclosure will protect it from all types of weather, from pouring rain to heavy snowfalls.
- In industrial settings, the metallic materials protect the electronics from alcohol, solvents, hydraulic oils, gasoline, and much more. Metal is electrically conductive, which is important for electromagnetic interference— or EMI—sensitive applications.
- In order to trap heat, metal enclosures are the best conductors.
- When working in a radio frequency (RF) environment, metal enclosures provide effective shielding by blocking RF electromagnetic radiation from escaping. It is recommended to order a box a size bigger than the normal size for what you are containing, so you can find and reach the controls.

How to Take Care of Metal Enclosures
At Midwest Metal Products, we will help you find the best enclosures based on what you will use it for and where it will be located. We’ll discuss whether steel or aluminum is the best option for your enclosure and what finish makes the most sense such as powder coating, wet paints or silk-screening.
