Protects surrounding paintwork – with an acrylic surround
Acrylic plastic forms a raised frame around the switch aperture, creating a barrier between fingers and painted wall areas. Peel-and-stick attachment uses included round double-sided adhesive pads to hold each surround in place.
Surrounds reduce chips and dirt around switches, preserving paint and plaster. Installation requires no tools and repairs to nearby finishes become less frequent.
Easy, tool-free installation – thanks to supplied adhesive pads
Set includes 24 round double-sided adhesive pads for three surrounds, allowing secure stick-on installation without screws or fillers. Adhesive pads align to the surround backing and press onto a clean, dry wall.
Installation takes only minutes and can be completed by anyone comfortable measuring and sticking items to a wall. Measuring beforehand ensures a correct fit for standard UK switch sizes.
Simple style update for many rooms – with neutral white acrylic
White acrylic offers a matte appearance that coordinates with most décor, and the 14.5cm square outer size creates a consistent visual border. Lightweight construction keeps the wall surface flush while adding a decorative edge.
Switch areas look cleaner and more uniform across living rooms, bedrooms, kitchens and nurseries. A coordinated look makes a small but noticeable difference to room presentation.
