Description
This is a plain, flat cover for a single unused position in a run of switches and sockets. The face is screwless, so there are no fixing heads breaking up the front, just a clean square of cool grey moulding with a softly squared edge. It measures 88mm across the face and sits close to the wall, which keeps it quiet next to switches, dimmers and power points on the same wall. There is nothing to operate and nothing to see: that is rather the point of it.
We reach for a blank like this where a position is no longer wanted but the opening remains, or where a run of plates has been planned with a gap left for later. It suits kitchens, hallways, home offices and bedrooms equally well, and it is a sensible choice in rented flats and holiday lets where a tidy, unbroken wall matters more than another control. Anyone building up a grey switch scheme will want a blank or two on hand so the wall reads as one family of plates rather than a patchwork. It is for indoor rooms that stay dry.
The body is moulded polycarbonate in cool grey right through, so a knock or a scuff does not reveal a pale core underneath, and the surface takes fingerprints far less readily than a metal plate. Keep it looking right with a wipe from a slightly damp cloth and a dry one after; skip kitchen sprays, wire wool and anything with solvent in it, as these will dull the moulding. It carries a ten year warranty. Paired with grey switches and sockets it disappears into the wall, which is exactly what you want from a blank, and it works just as well against pale plaster and darker paint.

Frequently Asked
What size is the face?
The visible plate is 88mm by 88mm, a standard single square format that lines up with other single plates on the same wall.
How deep is it?
The plate depth is 25mm.
What is it made from?
Moulded polycarbonate, coloured cool grey throughout rather than painted on the surface.
Why is it called screwless?
The front carries no visible screw heads, so the face stays a clean, uninterrupted square.
Can it go in a bathroom or outdoors?
No. It is rated for indoor use only and should be kept to dry rooms.
How should I clean it?
A soft cloth barely damp with water, then dry it off. Avoid solvents, abrasive pads and household sprays, which can leave the grey looking chalky.
