FAQs
Does this product include the light switch or socket?
No, the light switch or socket is not included. This product is a surround designed to fit behind your existing fixture.
How is the surround attached to the wall?
The surround is held in place by the screws of your existing light switch or socket's front plate. No adhesive tape is required.
What are the dimensions of the surround?
The surround measures 135mm x 135mm, with a central cut-out of 75mm x 75mm.
What is the material of the surround?
The surround is made from acrylic with a black matt finish.
Can I use this with a double light switch?
This specific model is designed for *single* light switches or sockets. You would need a different size surround for double or larger fixtures.
How do I clean the black matt finish?
Clean gently with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners to prevent scratching the matt surface.
Will this cover a large hole in the wall?
It is designed to cover gaps between the switch/socket and the wall, not large structural holes. The cut-out is 75mm x 75mm.
Troubleshooting
Surround does not sit flush against the wall.
Ensure the wall surface behind the switch/socket is relatively flat. If significant wall unevenness persists, this product may not achieve a perfect flush fit.
Screws for the faceplate are not long enough.
The surround is designed to work with the original screws. If they are too short, your existing fixture may have non-standard mounting depth. Consider sourcing slightly longer screws from a hardware store, ensuring they are compatible with your switch/socket.
Scratches appear on the surface.
Use only soft, non-abrasive cleaning cloths. Avoid using rough materials or harsh chemicals. Minor scuffs may be difficult to remove from a matt finish.
