Wall plate / switch cover Merten 296125, white, thermoplastic, single-gang

Merten 296125 is a single-gang wall plate and switch cover in white, molded from thermoplastic. The one-piece design fits a standard single-gang opening and provides a clean, low-profile finish for switches or outlets. It is supplied as a single unit and is designed for use in both residential and commercial interiors where a neutral white cover is required.

Advantages

The thermoplastic material offers impact resistance, dimensional stability and easy cleaning while remaining lightweight. A single-piece construction simplifies installation and reduces the number of visible seams. The universal single-gang format is compatible with a wide range of switch and outlet mechanisms from different manufacturers, allowing straightforward replacement or upgrade without modifying the wall opening.

Suitable for

• Replacing a damaged or discoloured single-gang switch or outlet cover
• New residential or commercial installations requiring a white, low-profile finish
• Standard electrical retrofit projects where compatibility with various switch brands is needed

How to use
