Emulsion paint is generally recommended for the primed finish. Ensure the paint is suitable for plastic or non-porous surfaces for the best adhesion.
Yes, it is designed to fit standard 2-gang UK electrical back boxes.
The product features a screwless design, meaning the visible plate snaps onto a mounting frame. Standard fixing screws for the frame are included.
This unit is rated for a maximum of 13 Amps, suitable for standard household appliances.
You can gently wipe the surface with a dry, lint-free cloth. Avoid heavy scrubbing or wet cleaning, as this may degrade the paint finish.
Check that the mounting screws are tightened fully into the back box and verify that no wires are trapped behind the plate.
Ensure the surface was cleaned of oils before painting and use a high-quality primer-compatible paint if necessary.
Check that no excess paint has seeped into the moving parts of the switch during the customization process.
Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with current IET wiring regulations. Before painting, ensure the plate is free from dust and grease. When painting, avoid getting paint inside the socket terminals or the mechanical switch components to ensure safety and functionality. For routine cleaning, use a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or strong solvents that could strip the custom paint or damage the finish of the black inserts.
