    Code: SM-01-81

    The white 3-gang surface-mounted frame is designed to combine three compatible switches, socket outlets, or a combination of both into a single unit. Its retro, loft, and vintage-style design is suitable for exposed surface-mounted electrical installations in residential, commercial, and historic interiors. The frame is made of white PVC plastic and has external dimensions of 227 × 85 mm. Electrical mechanisms are not included and must be selected separately. 

  • White 3-gang surface-mounted frame – retro and loft style, 227 × 85 mm

    Three-gang surface-mounted frame is designed to combine three compatible surface-mounted electrical installation components into one neat, unified block. The frame can accommodate socket outlets, light switches or a combination of both, provided that the selected components are compatible with this type of frame.

    The classic white design is suitable for retro, vintage, loft, industrial and rustic-style interiors. The frame helps maintain consistent alignment of several electrical installation components and creates a neat, unified arrangement on the wall.

    The product is made of PVC plastic. The specified external dimensions are 227 × 85 mm. The frame is a finishing and joining component; it does not replace the socket outlets, switches, their internal mechanisms or mounting bases.

    Three components in one block:
    The frame allows three compatible surface-mounted electrical installation components to be installed side by side, forming a unified horizontal arrangement.
    For retro and loft interiors:
    The white colour and classically shaped edges can be combined with retro-style switches, socket outlets, surface-run wiring, decorative insulators and other visible electrical installation components.
    Important compatibility information:
    The frame is intended for surface-mounted switches and socket outlets of a specific design. Before ordering, check that the selected mechanisms are compatible with the frame.
    The frame is not a standalone electrical device:
    The product serves a decorative and component-joining function. Socket outlets, switches, mechanisms, wiring and other installation parts must be selected and installed separately.

    Three-gang design

    The frame is designed for three electrical installation components mounted side by side. It can be used when several switches, several socket outlets or a combination of switches and socket outlets need to be installed in one location.

    The common frame helps maintain equal spacing between components, covers the junctions between them and gives the installation a unified appearance.

    Possible layout examples:
    • Three surface-mounted switches.
    • Three surface-mounted socket outlets.
    • Two switches and one socket outlet.
    • One switch and two socket outlets.

    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 its technical simplicity but also as a deliberate interior design feature. It is particularly suitable for lofts, wooden houses, restored buildings and rooms where chasing 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. Fixings must be selected according to the wall material and the design of the mechanisms 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 conceal 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.
    • Match the frame with cable fixing elements of the same style.
    • Maintain the same installation height throughout the room.
    • Plan the cable entry direction and the sequence of components in advance.

    White frame colour

    The white frame can be discreetly matched with light-coloured walls, white switches and socket outlets, or used as a contrasting feature on wooden, brick or darker surfaces.

    A uniformly white multi-component block visually combines three separate mechanisms and reduces the appearance of individual housings.

    Colour shade matching:
    White plastic components from different product series may vary in shade, surface gloss or texture. For the best result, use components designed to match one another.

    PVC plastic construction

    The frame is made of PVC plastic. The plastic construction provides a seamless shape, low product weight and a white surface finish.

    The PVC frame must be protected from strong impacts, deformation, aggressive chemicals and intense heat sources. Mounting screws must not be overtightened, as this may crack the plastic part.

    External dimensions: 227 × 85 mm

    The overall frame dimensions are 227 × 85 mm. Before installation, make sure that the selected wall area provides enough space for the entire three-gang block, cable entries and safe servicing of the mechanisms.

    When measuring the installation area, consider not only the frame itself but also nearby door trims, furniture, wall corners, pipes, decorative details and the cable routing direction.

    Installation procedure

    1. Select the components to be installed. Check that all three switches or socket outlets are compatible with the frame.
    2. Plan the component sequence. Decide in advance where the switches and socket outlets will be positioned.
    3. Disconnect the power supply. Verify that the circuits are de-energised.
    4. Select the installation location. The wall must provide enough space for the 227 × 85 mm frame and cable entries.
    5. Check the frame position. Use a spirit level to ensure that the three-component block is installed straight.
    6. Mark the mechanism and fixing positions. Follow the mounting design of the specific switches or socket outlets.
    7. Prepare the cable entry. The cables must not be pinched by the edges of the frame or mechanisms.
    8. Install the electrical mechanisms. Connect them according to the wiring diagram and terminal markings.
    9. Fit the frame. Check that all components align precisely with the openings.
    10. Secure the assembly. Do not overtighten the plastic parts.
    11. Check the alignment. All three components must be aligned and must not place pressure on the frame.
    12. Restore the power supply and check operation. The electrical installation must be checked by a qualified specialist.
    Electrical safety:
    The frame is installed together with socket outlets or switches, so all wiring and inspection work must be carried out by a qualified electrician. The power supply must be disconnected before installation.

    Use and maintenance recommendations

    • Use only with mutually 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 mechanisms have not become loose.
    • Disconnect the power supply before removing the frame or electrical components.
