FAQs

What is the primary purpose of the Brick Burst Buster Plate?

Its main purpose is to cover damaged external brickwork where cables enter, preventing water ingress and improving the aesthetic appearance.

What materials are needed for installation?

You can use screws (not included) or exterior-grade silicone sealant (not included) for installation. Using silicone sealant is recommended for optimal water protection.

Is the plate suitable for all types of weather?

Yes, it is constructed from premium quality plastic that is weatherproof and UV-resistant, designed to withstand environmental elements.

How does it prevent water damage?

When installed with silicone sealant, it effectively seals the cable entry holes in your brickwork, preventing water from infiltrating your property and causing dampness.

Can this plate be painted?

> Info needed: Check if the plastic material is paintable.

What colors are available?

This specific product is black. Related sibling products are available in brown.

What kind of cables can this plate accommodate?

It is suitable for various external cables entering a property, such as those for satellite dishes, aerials, broadband, or coaxial connections.

Troubleshooting

Plate does not sit flush against the wall.

Ensure the brick surface is relatively smooth. Minor imperfections may require more silicone sealant to create a complete seal.

Water ingress still present after installation.

Check that silicone sealant has been applied correctly around all edges of the plate and that the plate itself is adequately covering the original entry point. Ensure no gaps remain.

Screws are not holding the plate securely.

Use appropriate screws for brick or masonry. Ensure pilot holes are correctly sized. Consider using wall anchors if needed. Alternatively, use silicone sealant for a secure fix.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the area around the cable entry point is clean and dry.
  2. Position the plate over the damaged brickwork or cable entry hole.
  3. Option 1 (Screws): Mark the screw hole positions, drill pilot holes if necessary, and secure the plate using appropriate screws (not included).
  4. Option 2 (Silicone Sealant): Apply a generous bead of exterior-grade silicone sealant around the edge of the plate that will contact the wall. Press the plate firmly into place.
  5. For maximum water protection, using silicone sealant around the edges of the plate after fixing it is recommended.

Compatibility:

This plate is designed for standard external brickwork where cables (such as satellite, coaxial, aerial, or broadband) enter a property. Its effectiveness relies on the size of the damaged area or entry hole being covered by the plate's dimensions.

> Info needed: Exact dimensions of the plate to confirm coverage for specific applications.

Care:

The plate is made from durable, weatherproof, and UV-resistant plastic. Clean with a damp cloth and mild detergent if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could scratch the surface.
