Description
A blanking plate does quiet work: it closes off a single position and gives the wall a flat, unbroken face where a switch or socket once sat. This one is finished in bright teal, a clear, saturated blue-green that reads as a deliberate choice rather than a compromise, and the screwless style leaves the front clean, with nothing breaking up the face. At 88mm square it keeps to the familiar single-gang footprint. There is nothing to it beyond a tidy cover, which is exactly the point.
We reach for these during a kitchen or utility refit, where a position has been taken out of service and the alternative is a bare gap in the wall. They earn their keep in a hallway too, or behind a dresser, or in an alcove where an old point is no longer wanted but the wall still needs to look finished. Households with small children tend to prefer a closed face to an unused one. It is for indoor rooms only, and it is happiest where it is barely noticed.
The plate is moulded in polycarbonate, a tough plastic that stands up to knocks in busy rooms and keeps its colour in daily use. Keeping it tidy asks very little: a soft cloth, slightly damp, then dry; leave solvents, bleach and cream cleaners well alone, as they mark moulded plastics. It carries a ten year warranty. We stock it in bright teal, and where a wall carries several plates we would keep one finish running through all of them, so the teal reads as an accent rather than an odd one out.

Frequently Asked
What size is the plate?
It is 88mm high by 88mm wide, the standard single-gang face size, with a depth of 25mm.
What is it made from?
It is moulded in polycarbonate, a rigid plastic chosen here for its hard-wearing surface and strong colour.
How should I clean it?
A soft cloth wrung out in warm water, then a dry cloth to finish. Avoid solvents, bleach and abrasive creams, which can dull the teal.
Can I use it in a bathroom or outdoors?
No. It is intended for indoor use only, so we would keep it away from splashing and out of damp spaces.
Does it have any electrical function?
None. It is a blank cover with no switch, module or connection behind the face; it simply closes off a single position.
Is there a warranty?
Yes, it carries a ten year warranty.
