FAQs

What is the primary function of this pattress box?

It provides a decorative and protective housing for a single surface-mounted switch or socket.

What tools do I need for installation?

You will need basic tools such as a screwdriver, wire strippers, and possibly a level.

Is the wall box included?

No, a 25mm deep wall box is required and must be purchased separately.

Can I use this with any type of switch or socket?

It is designed for standard single switches and sockets. Ensure the chosen component fits within the box.

How do I clean the brass effect finish?

Wipe it gently with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

What if the finish gets damaged?

Minor scratches can sometimes be minimized with brass polish. For significant damage, replacement might be necessary.

Is this suitable for outdoor use?

Troubleshooting

Pattress box doesn't fit flush against the wall.

Ensure the wall box is correctly installed and flush with the wall surface. Check for any obstructions behind the wall box.

The brass effect finish is scratched.

Minimize scratching by using a soft cloth for cleaning. Consider using a brass polish to reduce the visibility of minor scratches.

The switch or socket doesn't fit inside the pattress box.

Double-check the dimensions of the switch or socket to ensure it's compatible with a single unit pattress box. Verify that the wiring is neatly tucked away to maximize space.
