The anthracite thermoset resin finish carries a Light Reflectance Value (LRV) of approximately 8.9, creating the high visual contrast required under current Building Regulations Part M when installed on lighter-coloured walls.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for commercial, hospitality and accessible residential installations, the faceplate works with two CUG2F grid sub-frames (sold separately) that allow 8 individual Curved Edge grid modules to be configured as switches, sockets, dimmers or data outlets. The thermoset resin construction includes inherent anti-microbial properties tested to ISO 22196:2011, making the plate suitable for healthcare, education and high-traffic public environments where surface hygiene matters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 7mm projection and IP20 rating suit standard internal dry-location installation. The plate measures 146mm square, fitting a standard double-gang back box footprint while supporting an 8-module configuration. The anthracite finish provides a dark neutral that contrasts with white, off-white and pale-toned walls while pairing with contemporary, industrial and minimalist interior schemes. Knightsbridge back the plate with a 25-year warranty.\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\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\/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_4832045_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 does Part M compliant mean for this faceplate?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePart M of the Building Regulations requires accessible design in dwellings and buildings. This faceplate has a low Light Reflectance Value (LRV) of 8.9, providing high visual contrast against lighter walls so switches are easier to identify for people with visual impairment. Part M recommends a minimum 30% LRV difference between the plate and the wall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat grid modules does it support?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe plate accommodates 8 individual Curved Edge grid modules from Knightsbridge.
