{"product_id":"double-blanking-plate-platinum-silver","title":"Double Blanking Plate - Platinum Silver","description":"\u003ch5\u003eDescription\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlatinum silver, flat and unbroken, this cover closes off a two gang opening and leaves nothing for the eye to snag on. The screwless plate style means no fixing heads on show: a moulded outer frame sits over the inner section, so the front reads as one clean rectangle with gently squared edges. The colour is a cool pale metallic grey with a soft sheen rather than a mirror shine, which keeps smears and fingermarks far less obvious than a polished face.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe reach for blanks like this during rewires and kitchen refits, where a socket or a television point has been taken out of service but the opening behind it is still there. They earn their keep in rented flats, home offices, utility rooms and hallways, and behind fitted furniture where a redundant plate would otherwise sit half hidden and looking forgotten. If the switches and sockets along a wall are already in a silver finish, a matching blank disappears into the run in a way a plain white one never will, and we would always choose to keep one wall to a single finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe plate is moulded in polycarbonate, so it is light in the hand, has no sharp edges and will not tarnish the way a plated metal face can. Keep it looking new with a dry duster most of the time, and for anything greasier a cloth wrung out in warm soapy water, then dried straight away; cream cleaners, wire wool and anything with solvent in it will dull the surface for good. It is intended for dry rooms indoors, not bathroom zones, outbuildings or anywhere exposed to weather. It carries a ten year warranty. Used well, a blank is the quietest thing on a wall: same finish, same profile, nothing to explain.\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\u003ePlatinum Silver\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\u003eIt measures 146mm across by 88mm high, which is the standard double plate footprint used across UK switch and socket ranges.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does screwless mean here?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe visible outer frame has no screw heads on the front face.
