Description
The Knightsbridge 1-gang grid faceplate is an 86mm square brushed chrome plate with rounded edges, designed to house modular grid switches, sockets and modules from Knightsbridge's grid system. Constructed from premium-grade steel with a 7.5mm projection from the wall, the faceplate provides a mounting point for one grid module width and forms part of Knightsbridge's modular wiring accessory range.
The grid system allows individual switches, sockets, dimmers and data outlets to be combined behind a single faceplate, giving flexibility in room layout without needing separate wall boxes for each function. This 1-gang plate accepts one standard grid module and coordinates visually with Knightsbridge's Rounded Edge Brushed Chrome switch and socket range, creating a consistent finish across an installation. The rounded edge profile softens the appearance compared to square-edge plates and reduces the risk of snagged clothing or sharp contact in high-traffic areas.
The brushed chrome finish has a directional grain that diffuses reflections and resists fingerprint marks better than polished chrome. The steel construction provides rigidity for secure module retention and the IP20 rating makes the faceplate suitable for dry indoor locations including kitchens, offices, hallways and bedrooms. Knightsbridge backs the plate with a 25-year warranty, reflecting the durability of the materials and construction.

Frequently Asked
What is a grid faceplate used for?
A grid faceplate is a modular system that allows you to combine different switches, sockets, dimmers and data outlets behind a single plate. This 1-gang plate accepts one standard grid module width, which can be a single switch, a single socket, or a blank plate. Multiple modules are combined using wider faceplates (2-gang, 3-gang, 4-gang).
What back box depth is required?
Knightsbridge grid modules typically require a 25mm minimum back box depth for safe installation. The faceplate itself adds 7.5mm of projection from the wall once fitted.
Is this compatible with non-grid switches and sockets?
No. This faceplate is designed exclusively for use with Knightsbridge's grid system modules. It will not accept standard UK switches or sockets. If you need a standard switch or socket faceplate, see Knightsbridge's non-grid ranges.
What other finishes are available in the Rounded Edge range?
Knightsbridge produces the Rounded Edge range in multiple finishes including polished chrome, brushed chrome, polished brass, antique brass, matt black and white. Use the search function or filters to find other finishes in stock at Niori.
