Stainless Steel LCD Enclosures

A stainless steel LCD or PC enclosure can be installed in locations where it would not be possible otherwise such as a beach front restaurant patio. Stainless steel LCD enclosures must be water and dust tight to stop particle build up and water leakage that can lead to failure of the internal LCD or PC. The finish of the stainless steel that it preferred and provides a nice retail or high end look is a brushed finish. The brushed finish is a grain effect on the stainless steel material which provides an aesthetically pleasing finished product.

A stainless steel LCD enclosure offers all the security and protection needed for hostile areas like a beach front. Stainless steel enclosures make it feasible to utilize any LCD or Plasma TV in a hostile outdoor setting without risking damage to the hardware that is enclosed inside.  Stainless Steel enclosures can also be popular indoors in retail settings for the benefit of the aesthetically pleasing look of the brushed grain finish. Stainless steel enclosures are often mandated for food processing and pharmaceutical factory environments where it is critical that a high level of cleanliness is maintained in wash down environments.

LCD enclosures will accommodate flat screen LCD displays up to 70 inches in size and can be built to also house a media player or small PC. In some locations the air temperature can fluctuate greatly. A stainless steel LCD enclosure (or any enclosure) is available with an option of an air conditioning unit that function on a thermostat to keep the internal temperature regulated, preventing overheating problems with the internal components. Cooling fans are usually standard and heaters can also be provided.

There are times when a stainless steel enclosure is not required in an outdoor setting. If salt is not present in the air, then a powder coated carbon steel LCD enclosure may be sufficient, especially if the enclosure is installed under an overhang or awning of some sort. Another material type that may be offered for the enclosure construction is aluminum which offers more rust protection than carbon steel and is more light weight.
