Single Light Switch Socket Coloured Acrylic Surround Finger Plate - Huge Colour Choice (White)

Great bargain and sturdy. Hides imperfections around light switch

The before and after pictures say it all. It would have been impossible to match the colour of ten year old off-white paint with grubby marks around the light switch and so this inexpensive finger plate saved me a lot of work. Just unscrew the socket and slide over the finger plate. Position it correctly and then tighten the screws. A very neat finish that I will do all over the house now that I know this white acrylic plate is good quality and the right size.

Product as expected good fit

Doesn't fit any light switch in our house, none! So no it's not value for money and printed from a 3D printer

Replacing sockets and switches in a room that has been wallpapered then painted or needs repainting, is not quite as easy as it sounds. Once you manage to remove the old socket or switch (razor blade)- it will likely tear the wallpaper around it. There also could be very little overlap of the wallpaper behind the socket or an edge caked with paint. Meaning when you fit your new switch or socket, there will be a square area around it that will be un painted with exposed edges of wallpaper or the lack of it or lumpy with old paint. This product solves that problem, it does not fit around the fixture, it is designed to be mounted underneath/behind it ! Turn off the mains power first - before you do anything ! You will have to unscrew the fixture from the wall to slip the plastic surround over it, at an angle. If this doesn't work, you will need to unwire it, slip on the surround, then re connect the switch or socket. For some folks this will require you to buy some longer screws to attach it back on to the wall with the slight added depth of the plastic - these screws cost peanuts on Amazon and in the UK they are usually M3.5 screws that range from 35mm to 75mm depending on your needs. The plastic these are made of may look scratched at first - it's not - just peel off the protective covers on both sides. Mounting these to the wall behind the fixture and making sure they are centred around the socket can be a bit tricky (so that the area around the edges is equal) - that's nothing to do with the product - it's just the nature of doing some DIY properly. The most important part of fitting these is in making sure the wall is flat underneath them, they wont sit flush to the wall if there's bumps or lumpy paint under them. These might seem a bit expensive for what they are but they are very well machined with no rough edges at all. Recommended

Ideal for light switches easy wipe clean also looks good

its to small don,t know any one who has a light switch that small

Excellent quality piece of perspex. It comes covered front and back with a peel-off protective film. Installation is quick and simple and it looks great.
