FAQs

What size is the Loops blanking plate?

The plate measures 86mm x 86mm and is designed to fit a single UK standard backbox.

Can this plate be used for square-edged holes?

This specific model is designed for wall box holes with round edges. Loops may offer other models for square edges.

Is this plate suitable for outdoor use?

This blanking plate is designed for interior wall applications. Outdoor use is not recommended due to potential exposure to moisture and elements.

What material is the plate made from?

The plate features a heavy duty metal cladding with a matt silver finish.

Do I need special tools to install it?

Basic tools like a screwdriver are typically required for installation. Ensure the power is off before installation.

How should I clean the matt silver finish?

Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that can damage the finish.

Is this compatible with flush or surface-mounted backboxes?

It is compatible with standard single UK backboxes, whether they are flush or surface-mounted, provided they are securely installed.

Troubleshooting

Plate does not fit securely.

Verify that you are using a standard single UK backbox. Ensure the backbox itself is firmly fixed within the wall. Check that no obstructions are preventing a flush fit.

Screws do not align with the backbox.

Confirm that the blanking plate is oriented correctly and is intended for a single gang backbox. Double-check that no debris is in the screw holes of the backbox.

Finish is scratched or damaged.

Avoid using harsh cleaning chemicals or abrasive materials. If minor scratches occur, try a non-abrasive metal polish suitable for matt finishes, testing in an inconspicuous area first.
