Blank Plates

A plug blank plate is a flat, typically rectangular or square cover designed to conceal unused or exposed electrical outlets, junction boxes, or switch boxes. These plates are usually made from materials like plastic, metal, or sometimes wood, and they are mounted over the opening of an outlet or box to cover the electrical connections behind them.

The purpose is simple: they provide a smooth, safe barrier over the unused area, preventing accidents and creating a cleaner look for your walls.

Blank plates can be used in both residential and commercial buildings to cover a variety of different openings, such as:

Unused outlets: Often, builders install outlets in places that are no longer needed, and blank plates can safely cover them.

Junction boxes: When electricians install junction boxes to house wiring connections, a blank plate covers the box and hides the wiring from view.

Switch boxes: In some cases, light switches or other controls are no longer in use. A blank plate allows for a clean removal without leaving a hole in the wall.

Blank plates come in a single and double plate format.
