Description
A plain round disc in satin black, 23cm across and shallow in profile, this is the heavy duty Hayes plate with a solid face and no central hole. The satin finish sits between flat and glossy, so it reads as a soft dark circle rather than a bright one, and it holds its own against a white ceiling without pulling the eye upward. Nothing about it is fussy: a clean circumference, an even face, and enough substance to feel properly solid in the hand.
We reach for a plate like this where the centre of a scheme wants a tidy finished circle rather than a bare one. It works over a dining table, in a hallway, above a kitchen island, or in a bedroom where one pendant is the whole lighting plan. It is an accessory rather than a light in itself, so the lamp choice belongs to the fitting it serves. The dark finish suits black flex, black cord grips and matt black shades, and it is a sensible pick in a room where the metalwork elsewhere already runs dark.
It is meant for dry rooms indoors, well away from steam and splashes. Keeping it looking right asks very little: dust it whenever you dust the fitting below, then lift any marks with a barely damp cloth and dry straight after so the satin stays even across the face. Skip cream cleaners and scouring pads, which will burnish bright patches into a finish like this one. It carries a one year warranty. Elsewhere in the range we stock compression cord grip packs and metal cable grip kits in matt black, plus brass, chrome and nickel options if you are mixing metals rather than matching them.

Frequently Asked
What size is this plate?
It measures 230mm in diameter with a height of 25mm, so it presents a broad circle while staying shallow against the ceiling.
Is there a hole through the middle?
No. This is the no-hole version, with a solid, unbroken face.
Does it take a lamp?
No, it is a non-electric accessory. Any lamp is chosen for the fitting it works alongside.
Can I use it in a bathroom or outdoors?
It is rated IP20, which means dry indoor rooms only. Keep it clear of shower zones and covered outdoor areas.
How heavy is it?
It weighs 0.72kg, which is why it is described as heavy duty rather than lightweight pressed trim.
How should I clean the satin black finish?
A dry cloth for dust, and a barely damp cloth followed by an immediate dry for marks. Nothing abrasive and no cream cleaner.
