FAQs
What is a blanking plate used for?
A blanking plate is used to cover an unused electrical box opening on a wall, providing a neat and finished appearance where a socket or switch is not needed.
Is this plate suitable for outdoor use?
No, this blanking plate is designed for indoor use only. While it has a moisture-resistant gasket, it is not rated for outdoor environments.
