Wall plate / switch cover Gira 027428 Anthracite — conventional design, single-pack

Gira 027428 Anthracite is a single-pack wall plate designed for covering and finishing standard switches and wall-mounted control devices. The cover features a conventional, rectangular design in a neutral anthracite finish that blends with modern and traditional interiors. Supplied as one piece per pack, it replaces or upgrades existing switch frames to provide a uniform, protective surface around the switching mechanism while keeping access to the control element intact.

Advantages

The wall plate delivers a durable and uniform surface that conceals mounting openings and protects wiring margins from dust and mechanical impact. The anthracite finish reduces visible fingerprints and minor marks compared with high-gloss surfaces, while the conventional shape ensures compatibility with a wide range of wall-mounted devices. As a single-pack item, it is suitable for selective replacements or aesthetic updates without needing a full set of frames.

Suitable for

• Replacing damaged or worn single switch covers in residential rooms
• Updating the visual appearance of individual switch points in offices and commercial spaces
• Covering standard single-module wall switches and control devices
• Partial renovations where only select switch frames are replaced

Key specifications

• Finish: anthracite
• Design: conventional rectangular single-gang cover
• Package contents: single wall plate
• Application: indoor use for switches and wall-mounted control units
• Material characteristics: rigid protective cover (compatible with standard mounting frames)

How to use

Before installation, switch off power to the circuit and verify the absence of voltage. Remove the existing cover by loosening retaining screws and lifting the old frame away from the mounting box. Position the Gira anthracite wall plate over the installed switch or control device, align mounting holes and secure it with the original or supplied screws. Restore power and check that the switch operates freely and that the plate sits flush with the wall surface.

Usage recommendations

Use the cover only with compatible single-module switches and frames. Clean the anthracite surface with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth and avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents. For safety, always isolate electrical circuits before removing or fitting wall plates; consult a qualified electrician if unsure about the installation.
