White single-gang surface-mounted frame – retro and loft style, 85 × 85 mm
Single-gang surface-mounted frame is designed to provide an aesthetic surround for one compatible surface-mounted electrical installation component. A compatible socket outlet or light switch can be installed in the frame, provided the selected component is suitable for this type of frame.
The classic white design is suitable for retro, vintage, loft, industrial and rustic interiors. The frame helps maintain a consistent appearance of electrical installation components and creates a neat overall composition on the wall.
The product is made of PVC plastic. The stated external dimensions are 85 × 85 mm. The frame is a finishing and joining element – it does not replace the socket outlet or switch itself, its internal mechanism or mounting base.
One component:
The frame is intended for one compatible surface-mounted electrical installation component and helps create a neat, finished appearance on the wall.For retro and loft interiors:
The white colour and classically shaped edges can be combined with retro-style switches, socket outlets, surface-mounted wiring, decorative insulators and other visible electrical installation elements.Important compatibility information:
The frame is intended for surface-mounted switches and socket outlets of a specific design. Before ordering, check that the selected mechanism is compatible with the frame.The frame is not a standalone electrical device:
The product performs a decorative and component-finishing function. Socket outlets, switches, mechanisms, wiring and other installation parts must be selected and installed separately.Product type

Retro / loft / vintageSingle-gang design
The frame is intended for one compatible surface-mounted electrical installation component. It can be used to provide an aesthetic surround for one light switch or one socket outlet.
The frame helps complete the finish around a single electrical installation component and maintain a consistent retro or loft-style appearance.
Possible installation examples:- One surface-mounted light switch.
- One surface-mounted socket outlet.
For surface-mounted electrical installations
The frame is intended for surface-mounted socket outlets and switches installed directly on a wall or another suitable surface. This installation method is often used in exposed electrical installations where wiring is routed along the wall surface.
Surface-mounted installation may be chosen not only for technical simplicity but also as a deliberate part of the interior design. It is particularly suitable for lofts, wooden houses, restored buildings and spaces where cutting channels into the walls is undesirable.
The mounting surface must be stable:
The frame and all electrical components installed beneath it must be securely fixed to the wall. Fixing hardware should be selected according to the wall material and the construction of the mechanism being installed.A retro and vintage interior accent
The classically shaped surface-mounted frame can become a visible interior detail. It is intended not to hide the electrical installation, but to integrate it aesthetically into the overall style of the room.
The product can be combined with wood finishes, brick walls, decorative plaster, painted concrete, classic furniture, metal interior details and vintage-style light fittings.
For a consistent style:- Use switches and socket outlets in the same colour.
- Combine the frame with cable fixing elements of the same style.
- Maintain a consistent mounting height throughout the room.
- Plan the cable entry direction and component arrangement in advance.
White housing colour
The white frame can be subtly combined with light-coloured walls and white switches and socket outlets, or used as a contrasting element on wooden, brick or darker surfaces.
The uniform white finish helps visually integrate the individual mechanism and gives it a more cohesive appearance.
Shade matching:
White plastic components from different series may have slightly different shades of white, surface gloss or texture. For the best result, it is recommended to use mutually compatible components.PVC plastic construction
The frame is made of PVC plastic. The plastic construction provides a uniform shape, low product weight and a white surface finish.
The PVC frame should be protected from strong impacts, deformation, aggressive chemicals and intense heat sources. Mounting screws must not be overtightened to avoid cracking the plastic part.
External dimensions 85 × 85 mm
The overall frame dimensions are 85 × 85 mm. Before installation, make sure there is enough space at the selected wall location for the single-gang unit, cable entries and safe access to the mechanism.
When measuring the installation location, consider not only the frame itself but also nearby door trims, furniture, wall corners, pipes, decorative details and the cable routing direction.

- Select the component to be installed. Check that the selected switch or socket outlet is compatible with the frame.
- Plan the component position. Choose in advance where on the wall the switch or socket outlet will be installed.
- Disconnect the power supply. Check that the circuits are de-energised.
- Select the installation location. There must be enough space on the wall for the 85 × 85 mm frame and cable entries.
- Check the frame position. Use a spirit level to ensure the single-gang frame is installed straight.
- Mark the mechanism and fixing positions. Follow the mounting design of the specific switch or socket outlet.
- Prepare the cable entry. Wires must not be pinched by the frame or the edges of the mechanism.
- Install the electrical mechanism. Connect it according to the wiring diagram and terminal markings.
- Fit the frame. Check that the component aligns precisely with the opening.
- Secure the assembly. Do not overtighten the plastic parts.
- Check the alignment. The component must be correctly aligned and must not press against the frame.
- Restore power and check operation. The electrical installation must be checked by a qualified specialist.
Electrical safety:
The frame is installed together with a socket outlet or switch, therefore all wiring connection and inspection work must be carried out by a qualified electrician. The power supply must be disconnected before installation.Usage and maintenance recommendations
- Use only with compatible surface-mounted components.
- Do not install a cracked, deformed or otherwise damaged frame.
- Do not overtighten plastic fixing points.
- Protect the frame from strong impacts and high temperatures.
- Do not use abrasive sponges or aggressive solvents.
- Clean with a soft dry or slightly damp cloth.
- Periodically check that the frame and mechanism have not become loose.
- Disconnect the power before dismantling the frame or electrical component.
