Oversized / large electrical faceplates

davo2001

Hi all,

Looking to get an oversized electrical faceplate to cover a few cracks/holes around the existing unit.

Don't want to plaster / paint the existing cracks as i can't source the exact paint colour and that means the entire (large) room would need to be repainted to match.

I'm looking at a 2 gang unit like the one linked below:

However they won't deliver to Ireland. Does anyone know where i could get/source something similar?

Hi,
im trying best to help if you could provide a bit more information please, i see your looking for a brushed stainless steel 2 gang double socket, and i know a place in ireland which ive used a few times myself heres a link:

the confusing part is when you said oversized, as the one in your link doesn't look any bigger than a regular, however i do understand that your looking for a socket surround to cover some cracks,
perhaps add something functional like a ledge surround, which will hold a phone wile charging,

thats assuming the cracks are at the top,

alternatively these:
