When it comes to protecting sensitive electrical systems in demanding environments, the right electrical enclosures make all the difference. At Washington Metal Fabricators, we specialize in crafting durable, custom metal electrical enclosures that provide the perfect combination of protection, functionality, and longevity. From utility providers to renewable energy companies, our clients trust us to manufacture solutions that meet industry standards and exceed expectations.

What Are Electrical Enclosures?

Electrical enclosures are cabinets, boxes, or housings used to protect electrical components such as switches, wiring, circuit boards, and control panels. These metal enclosures shield critical components from dust, moisture, impact, and unauthorized access. They are essential in ensuring the safety, reliability, and efficiency of electrical systems across a wide range of industries.

Washington Metal Fabricators produces custom metal enclosures that align with client specifications and the highest quality standards. Whether for outdoor installations, industrial machinery, or commercial infrastructure, we deliver dependable, tailor-made protective housings.

Why Choose Custom Metal Enclosures?

Standard off-the-shelf enclosures don’t always meet the unique requirements of complex electrical setups. That’s where custom electrical enclosures come in.

Benefits of custom metal enclosures include:

Tailored Fit: Precisely designed to accommodate your specific electrical components and configurations.
Durability: Made from steel, stainless steel, or aluminum to withstand harsh environments and reduce corrosion.
Improved Safety: Engineered to meet industry standards, reducing risk of electrical hazards.
Branding Options: Powder coating and engraving allow for custom colors, labels, and logos.
Space Efficiency: Optimized layout helps with cable management and airflow.

Industries That Rely on Electrical Enclosures

Washington Metal Fabricators manufactures protective enclosures for a wide variety of industries. Our expertise in electrical enclosures is particularly valuable in the energy and utility sectors, where reliability is paramount.

Industries we commonly serve include:

Electrical & Utility Infrastructure
Solar and Renewable Energy
Manufacturing & Industrial Automation
Construction & Commercial Projects
Transportation & Rail
HVAC & Plumbing Systems

Each project brings different specifications, environmental challenges, and regulatory requirements. Our engineering and fabrication team ensures your enclosure meets all necessary guidelines and performs reliably in real-world conditions.

Our Process: From Concept to Completion

Washington Metal Fabricators does not design electrical systems or create custom enclosure layouts from scratch. Instead, we collaborate with clients who provide detailed designs or schematics. Our expert team evaluates those plans, recommends optimal materials, and fabricates precise, functional metal enclosures that bring your design to life.

Step 1: Engineering Consultation

Our engineers review your provided designs and help determine the best materials and fabrication methods to match your needs, whether that includes powder-coated steel, stainless steel, or aluminum.

Step 2: Metal Fabrication

Using advanced tools such as CNC machines, laser cutters, and press brakes, we fabricate components to exact specifications. Welded seams, formed edges, and precision cutouts are crafted with care to ensure a perfect fit for your application.

Step 3: Surface Treatment

Many clients choose to enhance their metal enclosures with powder coating. Our sister company, EZ Fabricating, specializes in industrial powder coating—providing durable, attractive finishes in a variety of textures and colors. Powder coating not only boosts appearance but adds a layer of protection against the elements.

Step 4: Final Assembly & Quality Control

Every enclosure undergoes thorough inspection and testing to verify measurements, strength, and finish quality. Hinges, gaskets, mounting hardware, and other accessories are installed as specified. We take pride in delivering enclosures that are ready to perform on day one.

Key Features of Our Electrical Enclosures

Custom Sizes & Shapes: Fit to your exact dimensional requirements
Corrosion Resistance: Optional stainless steel or powder-coated finishes
Sealing & Gaskets: Keep out moisture, dust, and debris
Mounting Options: Wall-mount, pole-mount, or floor-standing designs

Designed to Endure: Built for Your Environment

Each application for electrical enclosures comes with different performance requirements. That’s why we focus on robust, site-specific fabrication.

We consider factors such as:

Location: Indoor or outdoor use?
Temperature Range: Exposure to heat, cold, or humidity?
Exposure Risk: Will it face chemicals, salt spray, or UV rays?
Security Needs: Locking mechanisms or tamper resistance?
Ventilation or Cooling: Required for active components?

By understanding your environment, we build protective enclosures that continue to perform year after year.
