{"product_id":"single-blanking-plate-dark-brown","title":"Single Blanking Plate - Dark Brown","description":"\u003ch5\u003eDescription\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003eNot every opening in a wall needs to carry a switch. This single gang blank closes one off tidily, with a screwless front that keeps the face clean and unbroken. It is moulded in polycarbonate and finished in a deep dark brown, a warm tone that reads closer to timber than to black, and the square face measures 88mm across. It carries no switch and no socket; the job is to fill a gap and finish it properly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe reach for a brown blank where the wiring has moved on but the wall has not: a redundant television point in a back bedroom, a spare position on a kitchen run, an office wall left over from an earlier layout. It suits panelled rooms, stained wood and darker paint colours, where a white plate would announce itself. Landlords and anyone tidying up after a rewire tend to buy several at once. It is meant for indoor rooms only, so we would keep it away from bathroom zones and unheated outbuildings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is a small piece of hardware doing a quiet job, so the details matter: a clean moulding, tidy edges and a face free of visible screws. Cleaning asks very little, a wipe with a barely damp cloth followed by a dry one, and nothing abrasive or solvent based, since sprays and polishes will dull a moulded surface over time. It carries a ten year warranty. We like brown accessories because plenty of homes are not white ones, and a blank in the same tone as the switches around it keeps a wall looking considered rather than patched over. Repeat it across a run of unused positions and the eye stops noticing them altogether, which is what a blank is for.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDark Brown\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType of Finish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.07KG\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLength\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e88mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e25mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e88mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBack Box Depth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e25mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterials Used\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePolycarbonate\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIP Rating\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIP20\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWarranty\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10yrs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUKCA\/CE\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAdditional Certification\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBS EN 60669\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePieces Included\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInstallation\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRequires Installation By Qualified Electrician. 25mm Box Depth Is Recommended.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSuitable For\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIndoor use only\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCountry of Origin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eChina\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat size is the plate?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe face is 88mm square, the standard single gang size, with a 25mm depth to the plate assembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is it made from?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMoulded polycarbonate in a dark brown finish, so the colour is part of the plastic rather than a painted surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes screwless mean there are no screws at all?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt means none are visible on the front.
