{"product_id":"double-blanking-plate-matt-black","title":"Double Blanking Plate - Matt Black","description":"\u003ch5\u003eDescription\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003eA blanking plate does one job and does it quietly: it covers a position on the wall that is no longer in use, so what is left reads as part of the wall rather than as unfinished work. This one is finished in matt black, with a flat unbroken face and no screw heads on show to catch the light, and it is moulded in polycarbonate. The two gang size follows a standard double plate, so it lines up with the switches and sockets sitting either side of it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt earns its keep during a rewire or a redecoration, when a socket has been taken out of service, an old television point has gone redundant, or a kitchen refit leaves a position stranded behind new units. We reach for one in hallways and sitting rooms where a bare aperture would be the first thing the eye lands on, and in offices and let properties where the tidiest answer is also the cheapest. It suits anyone working in a dark scheme who would rather the blank position disappeared into the run than announced itself in white plastic.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe moulding is a hard plastic with a low sheen finish that holds its colour and does not yellow the way gloss white can. Keep it right with a dry microfibre cloth, or a cloth barely damp with warm water for finger marks; leave the cream cleaners and solvents alone, as they polish shine into a matt surface and leave patches you cannot put back. Treat it as a dry room fitting, so not bathroom zones and nothing outdoors. It carries a ten year warranty. Set alongside matt black switchgear it becomes close to invisible, which is precisely the point of it. There is nothing electrical inside, so there is no lamp to think about.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMatt Black\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType of Finish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCore\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.07KG\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLength\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e146mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e25mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e88mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBack Box Depth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e25mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterials Used\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePolycarbonate\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\u003eWarranty\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10yrs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUKCA\/CE\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAdditional Certification\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBS EN 60669\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePieces Included\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInstallation\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRequires Installation By Qualified Electrician. 25mm Box Depth Is Recommended.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSuitable For\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIndoor Use Only.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCountry of Origin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eChina\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat size is the plate?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe face measures 146mm by 88mm, with a 25mm profile, so it follows the footprint of a standard double plate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is it made from?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is moulded in polycarbonate, a tough plastic finished in matt black right through the surface rather than sprayed on top.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan it go in a bathroom or outside?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. It is rated IP20 and made for indoor use only, so keep it to dry rooms.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow should I clean it without marking the finish?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA dry microfibre cloth for dust, and a cloth lightly dampened with warm water for finger marks.
