Single Blanking Plate - Platinum Silver

Every rewire and every kitchen refit leaves a position nobody wants any more, and this is the tidy answer to it. It is a single gang blank in platinum silver, an 88mm square face with no screw heads showing on the front, so the wall reads as finished rather than left mid job. The tone is a pale, cool metallic that sits comfortably beside chrome taps, brushed handles and stainless appliances. Small, flat and unfussy, it draws no attention at all, which is exactly what is asked of it.

We reach for one whenever a socket, switch or aerial socket has been taken out of service and the plaster is staying as it is. Behind a run of kitchen units, in a hallway after a rewire, on a media wall where a coaxial socket has been moved along, or in a study where a data socket has been relocated, it closes the gap cleanly. It suits landlords and anyone reorganising a room without redecorating, and it is a sensible choice where a line of plates along one wall needs to look consistent even though one position is now dormant.

The plate is moulded in polycarbonate, a hard plastic that holds a fine, even finish. It is intended for dry indoor rooms, so a kitchen, landing or bedroom rather than anywhere open to the weather. Keeping it looking well is quick: a barely damp cloth lifts dust and kitchen film, mild soapy water deals with fingerprints, and cream cleaners or solvents should be kept well away from the surface. It carries a ten year warranty. Where a wall has several plates on show, we would keep the whole run in the same screwless platinum silver style, so the blank sits in with the rest rather than announcing itself.
