This presents obvious challenges when installing a surface mounted consumer unit which protrudes from the wall at shoulder height. This can have an effect on the aesthetics of the area and introduces a risk of collision with both the fabric of the building and its occupants. Volta Consumer Units The flush mounted Volta Consumer Unit provides the ideal solution for this requirement. Protruding just 3.5mm from the surface, with a slim recessed mounting depth of 90mm, the Volta enclosure blends seamlessly into any location.
