Floor boxes
The aesthetic and technical needs of today’s
buildings are as diverse as the equipment that fills
them. Small wonder, then, that floor boxes can
continue to solve the needs of today and the future
as they did in the early 1900s when they were
invented. They are still a contemporary, capable and
cost-effective wire management system. Steel City,
a pioneer in both the design and applications of
floor boxes since 1904, invites you to discover or
rediscover the possibilities.
