Description
A blank plate has a quiet job: closing off a position on the wall where nothing needs to sit. This is the single gang version, a small square in a deep, muted green with a flat face and no screw heads on show, so the eye slides straight past it. At 88mm across it lines up with the standard switch and socket plates around it, which matters when several sit in a row along the same stretch of wall.
We keep these on the shelf for rewires and small changes, where a point is taken out of use and the gap left behind wants tidying rather than papering over. They suit hallways, kitchens, home offices and bedrooms equally, and they are the sensible answer where a television point or data socket is planned for later but not wanted yet. Colour is the reason most people choose this one: if you have already fitted green switches and sockets, a plain white blank sitting in the middle of the run undoes the effect. It is intended for indoor rooms, in dry conditions.
It is moulded in polycarbonate, a tough plastic that holds a solid colour well, and the finish is a dark, faintly earthy green rather than a bright one. Keeping it looking right is simple: a wipe with a cloth wrung out in warm water, then dry it off, and nothing stronger, since solvents and cream cleaners will dull the surface. It carries a ten year warranty. Pair it with green plates elsewhere in the room for a wall that reads as one piece, or let it settle quietly against dark paint and go unnoticed.

Frequently Asked
What size is the plate?

What is it made from?

Does it carry any electrical parts?
No. A blanking plate simply covers an unused single gang position; there is nothing to wire into the plate itself.
How should I clean it?
Use a cloth wrung out in warm water and dry the face afterwards. Avoid solvents, abrasive pads and cream cleaners, which will take the sheen off the green.

It is rated IP20 and made for indoor use only, so keep it to dry rooms away from splashing water.
Is there a warranty?
It carries a ten year warranty.
