Double Blanking Plate - Champagne Gold

A blank face in champagne gold, sized to sit in a run of switchgear where a double position needs closing off. The screwless style gives a front with no screw heads showing, just a flat panel and a slim chamfered edge, so it reads as a quiet pause in the line rather than something to look at. The gold is a soft champagne tone, warmer than chrome and calmer than polished brass, and it holds its own beside nickel, black or brushed metals used elsewhere in the room. At 146mm by 88mm it matches the footprint of the double plates it sits alongside.

We reach for a blank whenever a point has been made redundant and the wall would otherwise be left looking unfinished: a kitchen refit that moved the appliance points, a hallway where an old telephone position is no longer wanted, a bedroom where a line of plates needs to look deliberate. It earns its place too when a room is being redecorated and every plate on the wall is being brought into one family. Dry indoor rooms are its territory, so a hallway or a sitting room rather than a garage wall or anywhere it might take splashes.

The plate is moulded in polycarbonate with the champagne gold finish on the face, which keeps it light and free of the cold touch of metal. Fingerprints and dust lift with a dry microfibre cloth; if something greasy has landed on it, use a barely damp cloth and buff dry straight after, and keep household sprays and cream cleaners away from the coating, as they will dull the gold. It carries a ten year warranty. Set among champagne gold sockets and switches, it lets a wall look settled and complete with nothing further to say.

What size is the plate?

It measures 146mm wide by 88mm tall, the standard double faceplate footprint, with a 25mm depth behind it.

What is it made from?

A moulded polycarbonate body with the champagne gold finish applied to the visible face. It weighs only 0.07kg.

Can I use it in a bathroom or outdoors?

No. It is rated IP20 and intended for indoor use only, in dry rooms away from splashes and weather.

Why choose a screwless plate?

The face carries no visible screw heads, so a blank position looks like a plain panel rather than a covered gap, which suits walls where several plates sit close together.

How should I clean it?

Wipe with a dry or barely damp soft cloth and dry it off. Avoid solvents, abrasive pads and cream cleaners, which will mark the gold coating.

Does it come with a warranty?

It carries a ten year warranty.
