Description
A double-width cover in deep navy blue, this one closes off a two gang box that is no longer in service and leaves a clean, unbroken face in its place. The screwless plate style keeps fixing heads off the front, so the eye reads a single flat panel of colour rather than a piece of hardware. The body is moulded in polycarbonate, with the navy carried across the face and around the edges, and the section is slim so the plate reads as part of the wall rather than something sitting on it.
We reach for a blank like this when a point falls out of use and the wall still needs finishing off properly: a kitchen where appliances have moved, a hallway tidied up, a bedroom wall behind a wardrobe, or a media corner where a television point has been rerouted. It suits anyone running a coloured plate scheme rather than the usual white, and it is a quiet way to keep a run of navy switchgear consistent along a wall. Keep it to dry rooms inside the house; it is not made for bathroom zones, garages or anywhere exposed to weather.
Polycarbonate takes a solid, even colour and holds it, so there is no lacquer to wear through and no polishing to do. For cleaning, a cloth barely damp with warm water is plenty, then dry it off; skip solvents, alcohol wipes and cream cleaners, as all three will take the sheen off navy faster than anything else. Fingerprints show less on this than on gloss white, which is one reason we like darker plates in busy corridors. It carries a ten year warranty. Used in a row alongside navy sockets and switches, the blank disappears into the pattern, which is exactly what a good blank should do. There is nothing to wire and nothing to switch.
