FAQs

What are the exact dimensions of the surround?

The dimensions are approximately 212.6mm (width) x 152.6mm (height) x 5mm (depth).

Does this product come with a socket or switch?

No, this product is a surround only and is designed to fit over your existing double socket or switch faceplate. The socket or switch is not included.

What color is the surround?

The surround features a classic white finish.

How many surrounds are included in a pack?

Each pack contains two double socket switch surrounds.

Can I paint over this surround?

It is not recommended to paint over the surround as it may affect the finish and material properties. It is designed to be used as-is in its white finish.

Is this suitable for outdoor use?

No, these surrounds are designed for indoor use only and are not weather-resistant.

How do I clean the surround effectively?

Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive scouring pads to prevent damage to the finish.

Troubleshooting

Surround does not sit flush against the wall.

Ensure the original socket or switch faceplate is securely tightened to the wall box. Check for any debris behind the surround or faceplate that might be preventing it from sitting flat.

Screw holes do not align perfectly.

This surround is designed for standard fittings. Slight adjustments might be needed when tightening screws, or ensure you are using the correct screws for your original faceplate.

White finish appears scratched.

Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner suitable for plastic surfaces. For minor scuffs, try a magic eraser very gently, testing in an inconspicuous area first.
