Metalclad 3 Gang Grid Faceplate - Silver Grey

The Knightsbridge GDFP003M is a 3-gang grid faceplate built from premium-grade steel with a powder-coated silver grey finish, designed to hold three modular grid inserts within the metalclad grid system. The faceplate measures 148mm wide by 88mm high with a 3.5mm projection from the mounting surface, and requires one GDF002F frame unit (sold separately) to hold the grid modules in place.

Designed for industrial, workshop, garage and outdoor-protected installations where impact resistance and durability are needed beyond standard domestic faceplates, the metalclad grid system allows switches, sockets, RCD modules and data outlets to be configured in custom arrangements within a single robust housing. The steel construction provides mechanical protection for the modules behind, while the IP20 rating suits dry indoor locations or weatherproof enclosures.

The powder-coated silver grey finish provides corrosion resistance and a consistent appearance across the metalclad range. The faceplate coordinates with Knightsbridge's full metalclad switches and sockets collection, allowing grid modules and standard wiring accessories to be mixed within the same installation while maintaining a unified visual style. The 25-year warranty reflects the industrial-grade construction and intended lifespan in professional and trade environments.

Product Specification Sheet

What is a grid faceplate used for?

A grid faceplate holds modular grid inserts (switches, sockets, RCD modules, data outlets) in a customisable arrangement. This 3-gang plate accepts three standard grid modules, allowing you to configure the exact combination of functions you need in a single housing rather than using separate pre-configured units.

What additional components are needed?

This faceplate requires one GDF002F frame unit (sold separately) to hold the grid modules in place. You then add your chosen grid modules (switches, sockets, etc.) which clip into the frame before the faceplate is fitted over the top.

Is this suitable for outdoor use?

The IP20 rating means this faceplate is suitable for dry indoor locations only. For outdoor or damp locations, the faceplate must be installed within a weatherproof enclosure that provides the required IP rating for the environment.

What's the difference between metalclad and standard faceplates?

Metalclad faceplates are built from premium-grade steel rather than plastic, providing greater impact resistance and durability in industrial, workshop and garage environments. The metalclad grid system also allows modular configuration of different wiring accessories within a single robust housing.
