Description
The Knightsbridge 1-gang surface box is a 92.5mm square polycarbonate mounting frame finished in brushed chrome, designed to accommodate a single 1-gang screwless or flat plate accessory where surface mounting is required. The box projects 34mm from the wall surface once installed and provides internal cable routing channels and fixing lugs for secure accessory attachment.
Surface boxes are used where back boxes cannot be recessed into the wall — typically in solid masonry, tiled surfaces, glass partitions, or retrofit installations where cutting into the wall is impractical. This box accepts any standard Knightsbridge 1-gang screwless or flat plate accessory (switches, sockets, dimmers, data ports) and the brushed chrome finish matches the faceplate for a coordinated appearance. The IP20 rating suits dry indoor locations including kitchens, offices, and bedrooms.
The polycarbonate construction provides impact resistance and dimensional stability across temperature changes, while the brushed chrome finish is applied as a metallic coating over the polycarbonate base. The box includes internal cable entry points at the rear and sides, allowing cables to enter from multiple directions depending on the installation route. The 25-year warranty covers material defects and finish degradation under normal indoor use.

Frequently Asked
What accessories does this surface box fit?
The box accommodates any standard Knightsbridge 1-gang screwless or flat plate accessory including switches, sockets, dimmers, USB sockets, and data ports. The accessory screws directly into the fixing lugs inside the box.
Where are surface boxes typically used?
Surface mounting is used where back boxes cannot be recessed into the wall — common in solid masonry, tiled surfaces, glass partitions, listed buildings, or retrofit installations where cutting into the structure is impractical or prohibited.
Can this be used in bathrooms?
The IP20 rating is suitable only for dry indoor locations. Bathrooms require IP44-rated enclosures in zones 1 and 2 (near water sources). This box can be used in zone 3 (more than 2.4m from a water source) where splash contact is unlikely.
How are cables routed into the box?
The box includes internal cable entry points at the rear and sides, allowing cables to enter from multiple directions. Entry points typically need to be knocked out or drilled to suit the specific cable diameter and routing path.
