The plate surface has been treated with an anti-microbial coating tested to ISO 22196:2011, which inhibits bacterial growth on high-touch surfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for residential installation in living rooms, bedrooms, hallways and home offices where dimmed lighting control is needed, the plate accepts any standard UK 1-gang dimmer module (sold separately) rated for LED, halogen or incandescent loads. The 7mm projection from the wall is shallower than traditional switch plates, giving a lower-profile appearance on the wall surface. The rounded edge design removes the sharp corners typical of standard flat plates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe thermoset resin construction resists impact and does not discolour under UV exposure in the same way that thermoplastic plates can. The white finish is moulded through the material rather than surface-applied, so minor surface scratches are less visible than on painted finishes. The plate includes screw cap covers to conceal the fixing screws once installation is complete, and each plate is individually bagged for protection during storage and fitting.\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_2301346_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_1147618.pdf\" target=\"_self\"\u003eProduct Manual\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes this plate include the dimmer switch mechanism?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. This is the faceplate and dimmer cap only. The dimmer switch module itself is sold separately and must be purchased to match the load type (LED, halogen or incandescent) and wattage you need to control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does the anti-microbial coating do?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe anti-microbial treatment inhibits bacterial growth on the plate surface. It has been third-party tested to ISO 22196:2011, which is the international standard for measuring anti-microbial activity on plastics and non-porous surfaces. This makes the plate suitable for high-traffic areas or homes where hygiene is a priority.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this plate compatible with LED dimming?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe plate itself is compatible with any standard UK 1-gang dimmer module. Whether it will successfully dim LEDs depends on the dimmer module you pair it with — not all rotary dimmers support LED loads. Check the dimmer module specification before purchasing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's the difference between thermoset and thermoplastic plates?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThermoset resin is heat-cured during manufacture and cannot be re-melted, which makes it more resistant to heat distortion and UV discolouration than thermoplastic plates.
