Product Information

Full details

The Trendi Switch Candy Pink Double Blanking Plate is designed for homeowners looking to quickly and easily refresh their home's aesthetic with a pop of color. Its primary benefit is the effortless screwless design, allowing for a modern look and simple cleaning. A potential caveat is that it is a blanking plate, meaning it doesn't house any switches or sockets itself, but rather covers existing openings. Key features include a screwless finish for a sleek appearance, a durable black frame for mounting, and a double-sized plate to cover larger areas.

FAQs

What is a blanking plate?

A blanking plate is a cover used to conceal an electrical box opening where no switch, socket, or fixture is installed. It provides a finished look to the wall.

Do I need an electrician to install this?

For simply replacing an existing blanking plate or covering an unused box, it can often be a DIY task if you turn off the power. However, if you are unsure about electrical installations, consulting a qualified electrician is always recommended.

Can I install this over an existing light switch?

No, this is a blanking plate and is designed to cover empty openings or existing blanking plates. It cannot be installed over an active light switch.

What are the dimensions of the plate?

The Trendi Switch Double Blanking Plate measures 147mm in width and 85mm in height.

How do I clean the pink finish?

Clean the plate with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbers to prevent damage to the color and finish.

What is the installation depth?

The required installation depth for this plate is 4mm.

Does this product come with screws?

The product includes the necessary screws for mounting the internal black frame to a standard back box.

Troubleshooting

Plate does not click into place

Ensure the inner black frame is securely screwed into the back box and is perfectly level. Check that no obstructions are preventing the plate from seating correctly.

Plate feels loose or wobbly

Verify that the black frame is tightly secured to the back box. Ensure the correct fixing centres (60.3mm) are being used.

Scratch or damage on the pink finish

Discontinue use of abrasive cleaning materials. For minor scratches, a very gentle polish might help, but significant damage may require replacement of the faceplate.

Frame does not align with back box screws

Confirm you are using a standard double-sized back box with 60.3mm fixing centres. This plate is designed for this standard configuration.
