Rated Part M compliant under current UK Building Regulations, the plate carries a Light Reflectance Value (LRV) of approximately 8.9, providing the required 30% contrast against typical white or light-coloured walls to aid visibility for partially sighted users.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsed in conjunction with two CUG2F grid sub-frames (sold separately), the faceplate supports six Curved Edge grid modules in any combination of switches, sockets, dimmers, or data outlets. This allows bespoke electrical installations to be configured for commercial, hospitality and accessible residential projects where Building Regulations Part M compliance is mandatory. The thermoset resin construction provides durability under repeated switching cycles and carries inherent anti-microbial properties tested to ISO 22196:2011.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe anthracite finish is a dark grey-black tone that contrasts against standard white or cream wall colours while remaining visually softer than pure black. The curved edge design reduces the sharpness of the plate perimeter, fitting comfortably in modern and contemporary interiors. At 7mm projection from the wall once installed, the faceplate sits flush with minimal visual intrusion. Knightsbridge backs the plate with a 25-year warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e146 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e146 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\u003eAnthracite\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\/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_4832025_datasheet.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eProduct Specification Sheet\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is Part M compliance and why does it matter?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePart M of UK Building Regulations requires electrical accessories in new builds and certain refurbishments to provide sufficient visual contrast for partially sighted users. This anthracite faceplate has an LRV of 8.9, which gives the recommended 30% contrast against standard white or light walls, making switches easier to locate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat grid modules does this faceplate support?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe plate accommodates six Knightsbridge Curved Edge grid modules in any combination. You will need two CUG2F grid sub-frames (sold separately) to mount the modules behind the faceplate.
