Faceplates

We stock modular and grid faceplates from Knightsbridge, the front plates that sit over the grid modules behind your switches and sockets. Our range covers gang counts from single plates up to twelve, in finishes from brushed and polished chrome to matt white, matt black, antique brass and smoked bronze, so you can match plates across a whole room.

Choosing the right gang count

A faceplate is the visible front that covers the grid modules sitting in the box behind it. The gang count tells you how many module positions the plate has, and our range runs from one gang up to twelve. Smaller one and two gang plates suit a single switch or socket position in a study, bedroom or living room, while the larger six, eight, nine and twelve gang grid plates group many functions together in one run, which is why they turn up so often in commercial settings. Pick the gang count to match the number of modules you need to mount.

Modular and grid formats

We stock two main formats. Modular faceplates come in one, two and four gang sizes, while grid faceplates run from one gang right up to twelve, so the larger banks of controls or outlets sit behind a single grid front. Both share the same module-based approach, so the plate is the cosmetic layer and the working parts clip into the grid behind it. Edge profiles vary too, with rounded edge, square edge, bevelled edge, flat plate and ultra flat options across the range.

Matching finishes across a room

Our finishes are where a scheme comes together. We carry brushed chrome, polished chrome, matt white, matt black, antique brass, polished brass, brushed brass, black nickel, smoked bronze, anthracite, gunmetal and pearl. Many are offered screwless, where the visible plate clips over a base without exposed fixing screws for a cleaner front. Most plates use metal, with stainless steel across a good part of the range. To keep a room consistent, choose one finish and apply it to every plate, whatever the gang count or format.

Fitting notes

Faceplates are a front-of-box component and the plate itself is usually a straightforward swap, but anything touching the fixed wiring or the modules behind should be handled by a qualified electrician. Always turn the power off at the consumer unit before removing an existing plate.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the gang count on a faceplate mean?
The gang count is the number of module positions a plate covers. A one gang plate holds a single module, while higher counts like nine or twelve gang group many modules behind one front. We stock plates from one gang up to twelve, so you can match the count to the number of switches, sockets or other modules you want to mount in a single box.

What is the difference between a modular and a grid faceplate?
Both work on the same module-based system where the plate is the front cover and the working parts sit in the grid behind it. In our range, modular faceplates come in one, two and four gang sizes, while grid faceplates run from one gang up to twelve, so beyond four gang it is the grid format that groups a larger bank of controls or outlets behind a single front.

Which finishes can I choose for matching plates across a room?
We carry brushed chrome, polished chrome, matt white, matt black, antique brass, polished brass, brushed brass, black nickel, smoked bronze, anthracite, gunmetal and pearl. To keep a room consistent, pick one finish and use it on every plate. Many finishes are offered screwless, with the front clipping over a base so no fixing screws show.

Can I fit a faceplate myself?
The plate itself is a front-of-box cover and is usually a simple swap, but anything involving the modules or the fixed wiring behind the plate should be carried out by a qualified electrician. Before removing any existing plate, turn the power off at the consumer unit. If you are unsure about the wiring or the box behind, have a professional handle the work.
