FAQs
Does this require an electrician to install?
No, this is a decorative cover that installs using adhesive strips and does not require touching any electrical wiring.
Will this fit a double-gang light switch?
This specific model is designed for a single light switch. Please refer to our other variants for double-gang compatibility.
Can I remove the plate if I move houses?
Yes, it can be removed, but be aware that the adhesive may cause damage to paint or wallpaper if pulled too quickly.
What are the exact aperture dimensions?
The aperture is 20mm x 34mm, suitable for standard rocker-style switches.
How should I clean the chrome?
Use a soft, dry cloth to buff away fingerprints. If necessary, use a slightly damp cloth, then dry immediately.
Troubleshooting
The cover plate is not sticking to the wall.
Ensure the wall surface is completely clean and dry. Dust or paint residue can prevent the adhesive from bonding correctly.
The switch rocker hits the edge of the aperture.
Ensure the cover plate is perfectly centered over the switch during installation. Adjust positioning before applying firm, permanent pressure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation requires no professional electrical knowledge. First, clean the wall area surrounding the light switch with a mild degreaser and allow it to dry completely. Apply the provided double-sided adhesive foam strips to the back of the Victorian cover plate, peel off the protective backing, and press firmly over the existing switch.
For care, simply wipe the chrome finish with a soft, lint-free microfiber cloth. Avoid using abrasive sponges or harsh chemical cleaners, as these can scratch or dull the reflective surface of the chrome plating. Compatibility is limited to standard single-switch configurations; ensure your existing plate dimensions are smaller than or equal to the cover plate's outer diameter of 96mm x 96mm.
