Light Switch Covers
Light switch covers, also called light switch plates or wall plates, are protective covers designed to be installed over electrical light switches. Light switches are electrical devices designed to control the electricity flow to lighting fixtures or lamps in homes, buildings, and other facilities. A light switch cover conceals the blemishes of the switch’s edges or finger marks on walls and protects light switches and electrical outlets in residential and commercial buildings. These covers are typically made of materials like plastic, metal, wood, or ceramic and come in various shapes, sizes, colours, and designs to match the decor and style of a room. They are typically secured to the wall with screws and are easily removed for painting or wallpapering.
Why Use Light Switch Covers?
The primary purposes of a light switch cover include:
- Safety: Light switch plates cover the electrical switch mechanism, preventing direct contact with the wiring, and reducing the risk of electric shock.
- Aesthetics: These durable covers provide a finished look to the switch installation, often matching the room’s decor.
- Functionality: They can make it easier to locate and operate the switch.
Popular Types of Light Switch Covers
There are different types of light switch covers to accommodate various electrical configurations, including single-gang, double-gang, and triple-gang covers. They are also available for different types of switches, such as toggle switches, rocker switches, and dimmer switches.
Blanking Plates vs. Light Switch Covers
Blanking plates, also called blanking inserts or blanking outlet covers, are used to cover unused knockout holes in electrical panels, junction boxes, or enclosures. These plates do not have openings for switches and seal off the bespoke devices that have been temporarily unused or are no longer in use. A blank plate maintains the integrity of the enclosure, prevents dust or debris from entering, and reduces the risk of electrical hazards.
On the other hand, light switch covers enclose and protect light switches, dimmer switches, electrical outlets, and other electrical devices mounted on the wall. They provide a protective barrier around switches and outlets and also serve an aesthetic purpose by enhancing the appearance of a room.
Typical Applications of Light Switch Covers
Light switch covers are extensively used to protect and cover electrical switches and outlets in multiple commercial, residential, and industrial settings. Some typical applications of light switch covers include:
- Concealing Wiring
- Electrical Safety
- Style and Easy Identification
- Aesthetic Enhancement.
