What is
GALVAR®?
GALVAR® control cabinets are modern industrial enclosures designed for outdoor applications. They provide full protection of electrical and electronic equipment against rain, dust, moisture and extreme temperatures. Thanks to the patented weld-free joining technology, they offer a durable and cost-effective solution for the energy, automation, telecommunications and infrastructure sectors.
5 years of engineering-certified warranty
GALVAR® is a patented technology that joins steel without welding, ensuring C4-class resistance and peace of mind for years.
Engineered for industry, with the environment in mind
70% less CO₂ emissions, patented technology and a 5-year warranty – GALVAR® is the sustainable engineering standard.
C4 resistance and zero compromise
GALVAR® combines a patented weld-free design with top-level corrosion protection – a new level of safety for outdoor cabinets.
GALVAR® – modern
weld-free enclosures
GALVAR® is Radiolex’s patented technology that completely changes the approach to designing and manufacturing industrial enclosures. Instead of traditional welding, we use bonding and riveting, which keeps the protective zinc coating intact. This results in exceptional corrosion resistance and a significantly longer service life of the enclosures, even in the most demanding conditions.
GALVAR
Why GALVAR®?
Traditional welded enclosures have been the standard for years in the energy, telecom and automation sectors. However, they have a weak point – welding damages the protective coating, which leads to corrosion in critical areas. In GALVAR®, this issue has been eliminated. As a result, our enclosures are tighter, more durable and better prepared for rain, dust, humidity and harsh industrial environments.
They are also an ideal alternative to expensive aluminium and stainless steel cabinets. GALVAR® enclosures offer comparable durability and corrosion resistance at a significantly lower cost.
Applications
GALVAR® enclosures are the right choice wherever tightness and resistance to harsh weather conditions are essential:
Telecommunications and road infrastructure
Wastewater treatment plants and pumping stations
Energy and industrial automation
Areas with increased humidity
Installations requiring high corrosion resistance
Types of GALVAR® enclosures
SZK-A (compact)
Wall-mounted or floor-standing enclosures with IP66 ingress protection and C4 corrosion resistance. Operating temperature range from –40 to +80 °C. Ideal for smaller outdoor and indoor installations. Available with thermal insulation and custom dimensions.
Thermal insulation
extra protection in extreme conditions
In many installations, the greatest threat is not moisture or dust itself, but rapid temperature changes. They can cause water vapour to condense inside the enclosure and consequently damage the equipment. This is why GALVAR® enclosures can be fitted with a thermal insulation layer that:
- stabilises the temperature inside the cabinet,
- minimises the risk of moisture condensation,
- protects electronics from overheating or freezing,
- extends the service life of the equipment inside.
This solution is particularly important for sites exposed to intense sunlight, severe frost or highly changeable weather conditions (for example installations by roads, in ports or in industrial areas).
Advantages of GALVAR®
compared to competitors
1
No welding – full protection of the zinc coating
and long-term durability
2
Higher tightness – IP55/IP66 and
IK10 mechanical resistance
3
Resistance to extreme conditions
from frost to high temperatures
4
Thermal insulation – protection
against condensation and stable internal temperature
5
Custom configuration – non-standard dimensions, any
RAL colour, additional options (cut-outs,
extended temperature range)
6
Cost-effective alternative to aluminium and stainless steel –
comparable durability at a much lower price
7
Assured quality – 5-year warranty as standard,
and up to 10 years for selected series
8
Thermal insulation – protection
against condensation and stable internal temperature
Welding
Before making a weld in an enclosure made of galvanised sheet metal, the zinc coating must be removed at the weld locations. This means that the areas around the weld are left without a protective layer and become exposed to corrosion.
Bonding
Thanks to GALVAR technology, it is possible to join steel without removing the protective coating, which preserves maximum corrosion protection. An additional advantage of bonding is the ability to join different grades of steel together.

FAQ
Most frequently asked questions about GALVAR® technology from Radiolex
What makes GALVAR® technology unique?
GALVAR® is a patented sheet metal joining method that uses bonding and riveting instead of welding. This keeps the protective zinc layer intact and increases the corrosion resistance of the entire structure.
Why is it better than traditional welding?
Welding damages the protective zinc coating – bonding and riveting do not. As a result you get better tightness, higher durability and a lower risk of corrosion.
Where can GALVAR® enclosures be used?
The enclosures perform excellently in harsh environments with moisture, dust and contaminants. They are used in power distribution, industrial automation, telecommunications, wastewater treatment plants, pumping stations, road infrastructure and ports.
What enclosure types are available?
There are two main ranges:
-
SZK‑A (compact) – floor-standing or wall-mounted, IP66, C4 corrosion class, operating temperature –40…+80 °C, options for thermal insulation and custom dimensions
-
SZK‑B (large) – IP55 as standard (optionally IP66), C4 class, temperature range –40…+80 °C (extendable to –50…+120 °C), options for thermal insulation, RAL colours and custom dimensions
Can enclosures be ordered in non-standard sizes and colours?
Yes. The enclosures can be ordered in any dimensions and any RAL colour. Additional options include thermal insulation, extra cut-outs and an extended operating temperature range.
What is the degree of protection (IP/IK)?
-
SZK‑A – IP66 (full protection against dust and powerful water jets)
-
SZK‑B – IP55 as standard, with IP66 available on request
-
Impact resistance – IK10
Are the enclosures durable and easy to install?
Yes. Bonded joints are tight, and the technology enables fast assembly and easier access to the interior, which also simplifies maintenance.
Is a warranty provided?
Yes – a standard 5-year warranty on GALVAR® enclosures, with an option to extend it up to 10 years!
Can different materials be used together with GALVAR®?
Yes – the technology makes it possible to join different materials, which provides greater design flexibility.
Are there other accessories compatible with GALVAR®?
Yes – for compact enclosures, robust corrosion‑resistant locks are used, suitable even for marine environments. There are also plinths, reinforced concrete foundations, beams and mounting brackets, as well as ventilation, heating and air‑conditioning systems for cabinets.
