Choosing the right materials is no easy task for data centre specifiers.

Sometimes we provide accesory items that go hand in hand with Staticworx. In Equinix' case they needed in excess of 2.5km of dark grey 10cm high coving to complete their massive data storage facility.

Through iRubber/Staticworx and the team at Greenbox Architecture, American sourced Roppe Pinnacle Base was the answer.

As always, it arrived on time and within budget! Amicus were the construction company commissioned to do the install.

Thanks to Alex Kuztnetsov and his team it was installed reasonably quickly.

Each coil had about 36m each so that meant almost 70 coils (or about 2,000kg) of rubber coving was supplied.

Here's what 2.5km of coving looks like on a massive pallet.
