Robust, elegant, floor-flush
Their stability and long lifespan mean that OBO cassettes are frequently used in natural stone or tiled floors, where solidity and an exact end between the floor covering and cassette are required. However, they are also optimally suited for special applications in screed floors. This allows you to meet all the design, safety and structural requirements with ease.
Everything runs smoothly: Lined cassette body for polished screeds
Seamless floor areas, such as polished cement or cast asphalt screeds, are en vogue in modern interior architecture. Both architects and clients value them for their wide range of design options and their economic viability. As the sole provider on the market, OBO can offer a decoupled underfloor solution, in order to integrate the access points to the electrical installation seamlessly into the floor area. Namely, the lined cassette body for polished screeds. This allows the surface-flush and joint-free installation of cassettes into the floor area. Ideal for a smooth, sophisticated appearance without crack formation and sound transmission.
Our mounting video shows you how easy OBO floor boxes can be installed into polished screeds.
The OBO portfolio for seamless floors includes:
- Cassette cover
- Holding claws
- Screed protection cover
- Cassette formwork with levelling function
- ISO apron
- Mounting frame
- Underfloor device socket
Quality with depth – from the idea through to implementation
The height of the OBO cassettes can be adjusted to the height of the finished floors and, in a special version, can also be used with noise decoupling. They are available in a rectangular design with versions for dry, moist and wet-care floors coverings. An integrated, 4 mm-thick sheet steel plate also increases the load capacity of the cassettes. They were tested according to EN 50085-2-2 using the ultra-modern testing systems at the OBO BET Test Centre.

Planning Checklist for your OBO cassettes
Use our planning checklist to make sure, that nothing can go wrong while choosing and installing your OBO cassette. When selecting underfloor systems with OBO cassettes, the following planning criteria, amongst other things, must be considered:
- Take the type of floor covering into account. For wet-care floors, for example, you should use an OBO cassette with tube body.
- Select the size of the cassettes according to the number of installation devices to be installed: We offer you solutions for six or for twelve sockets.
- Observe the minimum installation depth of the height-adjustable cassettes.
- Height-adjustable cassettes are designed for normal loads in office and administrative buildings. For increased load requirements, use heavy-duty cassettes made of stainless steel.
- Apply the floor covering in the cassette cover, taking height adjustment and expansion joints into account.
- You would like to avoid footfall noise in the floor structure? Then install the noise-decoupled OBO cassettes.
