Description
A ceiling plate is one of those small parts that decides whether a scheme looks finished or half done. This one is a shallow iron disc, 80mm across, with a solid face and no central hole, polished to a bright chrome that picks up whatever light is in the room. The edge sits low at 25mm, so it reads as a neat button against a plain ceiling rather than a lump of metal. Small, quiet, and made to disappear into the job.
We keep these to hand for tidying the point where a flex drops from the ceiling, and for the times when something plain overhead is exactly what is wanted. It suits pendant schemes where the hardware should match the fitting rather than compete with it: a run of bare flex over a kitchen island, a single drop in a hallway, a stairwell where every part is on show. It is an accessory rather than a light in its own right, so it takes no lamp of its own; the light comes from the fitting it accompanies. Dry indoor rooms are its home, and we would choose it wherever a ceiling point wants covering neatly and nothing more.
Stainless steel gives it a bit of backbone for such a light thing, and the polished chrome holds its shine with very little attention. An occasional wipe with a soft cloth keeps it clear of dust; for fingerprints, damp the cloth slightly and dry the surface straight after, and keep abrasive creams and solvent cleaners well away from the polish. It carries a one year warranty. The same polished chrome runs through the metal cable grip kits in this range, so the parts of a flex drop can be matched up properly instead of left to chance.

Frequently Asked
What size is the plate?
It measures 80mm in diameter with a height of 25mm, so it sits close and covers a modest area.
Does it have a hole in the centre?
No. This is the solid, no hole version, with an unbroken polished face.
What is it made from?
Iron, finished in polished chrome.
Is it electrical, or does it take a lamp?
Neither. It is a non-electric accessory, so any lamp belongs to the light fitting it is used with.
How should I clean it without marking the chrome?
A soft dry cloth for everyday dust, and a barely damp cloth followed by an immediate dry buff for fingerprints. Avoid scouring creams, wire wool and solvent-based cleaners.
Is it suitable for a bathroom or outdoors?
It is rated IP20, which makes it a dry indoor item rather than one for wet or exposed positions.
