FAQs

What is a blanking plate used for?

A blanking plate is used to cover an unused electrical outlet opening in a wall, providing a safe, clean, and aesthetically pleasing finish.

Is this plate suitable for covering a double-gang socket hole?

No, this is a single-gang blanking plate and is only designed to cover single-gang electrical openings.

How do I clean the polished chrome finish?

Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners. For minor marks, mild soap and water followed by thorough drying is recommended.

What does the integrated moisture gasket do?

The gasket helps to protect the metal plate from moisture and condensation, preventing tarnishing and maintaining its appearance, especially useful with new plaster walls.

What is the warranty period for this product?

BG Electrical provides a 25-year manufacturer's warranty against faulty materials and workmanship.

Does it come with fixing screws?

Yes, the blanking plate is supplied with colour-matched fixing screws for easy installation.

What are the dimensions of the plate?

The plate dimensions are 86mm x 86mm x 6.9mm.

Troubleshooting

Plate does not sit flush against the wall.

Check that the electrical back box is securely mounted and that no cables are obstructing the plate.

Screws do not align with the back box.

Verify that you are using a standard single-gang back box. Ensure the plate is correctly oriented.

Tarnishing or discolouration appears on the plate.

Ensure the integrated moisture gasket is properly seated. Clean the plate as per care instructions. Persistent issues may indicate excessive moisture.

Fingerprints are still visible.

While the lacquer helps, frequent handling may still leave marks. Clean with a soft, damp cloth and dry thoroughly.
