Description
A blank plate does the quiet work in a room already full of switches and sockets. It closes off a position that is no longer in use and gives it a plain, tidy face. This one is finished in moss green, a muted earthy tone that sits closer to the greens of painted joinery than to anything bright or glossy. The screwless style keeps the front clear of screw heads, so what you see is a simple rectangle of colour. It takes up a two gang position, the same width on the wall as a standard double socket.
We reach for these when someone is tidying up after a rewire or a change of layout: a redundant position in a hallway, an old aerial socket behind a television that has moved, a spare position in a kitchen run that is no longer wanted. It suits anyone matching switchgear to a coloured wall rather than defaulting to white, and it is a tidy way to keep a whole run of plates in one colour so the eye passes over them. In an older house the green reads softer than a stark white cover.
The plate is moulded in polycarbonate, a hard-wearing plastic that holds its colour and does not mark easily. Cleaning asks very little: a dry or barely damp cloth over the face now and then, and nothing solvent-based, since spirits and cream cleaners will dull the surface. Keep it to dry rooms indoors; it is not one for a shower room, an unheated outbuilding or anywhere open to the weather. It carries a ten year warranty. If you are choosing plates for a whole room, we would settle on one colour and one style first, then let the blanks sit quietly within it.
