The plate measures 86mm square with a 7mm projection from the wall once fitted, providing a low-profile finish that sits flush with adjacent switches and sockets in the same range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for residential, commercial and healthcare installation, the blanking plate incorporates anti-microbial properties tested to ISO 22196:2011, reducing bacterial colonisation on the surface. This makes the plate particularly suited to hospitals, care homes, schools and food preparation areas where surface hygiene standards are regulated. The plate fits standard UK single-gang back boxes and includes screw cap covers that hide fixings for a clean appearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe white finish pairs with standard white switches and sockets across most manufacturers' ranges, allowing blanking plates to be added to existing installations without visual mismatch. The thermoset resin construction provides impact resistance and dimensional stability superior to thermoplastic alternatives, with the material rated to maintain its finish and structural integrity over the 25-year warranty period. The rounded edge profile softens the visual transition between plate and wall compared to sharp-edged alternatives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e86 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e86 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProjection\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConstruction\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eThermoset resin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFinish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWhite\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIP Rating\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIP20\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAnti-Microbial Properties\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3rd Party Tested to ISO 22196:2011\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWarranty\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e25\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eDownloads\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8993\/3835\/files\/products_2301047_datasheet.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eProduct Specification Sheet\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8993\/3835\/files\/manual_1147714.pdf\" target=\"_self\"\u003eProduct Manual\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhen would I need a blanking plate?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlanking plates cover electrical back boxes that are no longer in use, typically after re-wiring or room reconfigurations where a socket or switch has been removed or relocated.
