New Heritage Brass range, the Low Profile Styled Cast Plate wiring accessories
Posted by sparksdirect in in-house announcements, new technologies, products pictures, switches and sockets, website update on January 15, 2010
Part of the Elite Profile Range, the new Low Profile Plate from Heritage Brass features elegantly styled low profile cast plates of approximately 5mm projection. The Elite Low profile range is particularly suited to complement the contemporary installations.
These days, every major switches & sockets manufacturer does flat plate, and everyone is used to it – but this particular range from Heritage Brass is a square edge low profile, which protrudes a little farther than the flat plate, just enough not to be too much. If you don’t have an extremely even plaster, this range will look even smarter on your wall. The look – not as bulky / raised as the stepped/raised plate, and the price – very competitive!
While the low profile plates are of minimal projection, a distinctive raised edge enables them to be easily installed on all wall surfaces including slightly uneven or textured finishes. The depth of most of the back-boxes is 35mm(except the 6A Rocker Switches).
The wide product range in low profile is available in a choice of attractive metal plate finishes like Polished Brass, Polished Chrome, Satin Chrome and Satin Nickel, all with the option of white or black trim/insert. The matching metal rockers, a standard feature, further enhance the appeal of the Elite Low Profile range for sophisticated modern decor schemes.
