2 Gang Blanking Plate - White

2 Gang Blanking Plate - White

The 2-Gang Blanking Plate in White is a standard electrical accessory used to safely and neatly cover unused double-sized (2-gang) wall boxes. It provides a clean, professional finish by concealing exposed wiring or unused socket outlets, maintaining the aesthetic of your walls while preventing accidental contact with live electrical components.

Typically manufactured from high-grade urea formaldehyde or impact-resistant plastic, these plates are designed to match standard white moulded switches and sockets.
