Anyone had problems with these slimline fittings,they are so slim,I just can’t get my head round it.
They are not fitting correctly to the wall,looks like these walls need to be flat,not happy with them at all .

I have just finished a job that an electrician walked from that had the same brand. They look so bad. Sure the wall has to be flat and you do need a 35mm backbox, but even with that the finish is awful.

It is. I dunno why @elsparko felt the need to give a dumb. Perhaps you need to get a 2 year old to draw a picture so he can understand it?

I've used these in the past when the wall isn't perfectly flat.

@Midwest in post #20 hit the nail on the head. There is so little movement you can do with these plates. Click Definity is the same.

I fitted out a kitchen with them once, never again. Laser level set the boxes through the lugs as normal, it took a good extra couple of hours to clean out the back boxes more than normal and still a total nightmare to get everything level and straight.

Also agree with @Leesparkykent that they look gash. For the extra money they cost and the extra work to install them I wouldn't have screwless flat plate near me. And standard screwed flat plate is even worse looking...it bends and bows and even on a nice flat wall you can see the silly gasket type thing the manufacturer has behind the plate.

2 dumbs and an old --- for tat (basically anything I posted within that last five minutes) as I gave his unrelated picture that nobody remarked on that a dumb these pictures and videos have no relevance and just puts the thread off topic.

I show click deco to customers and they generally all like it. Satin Chrome with black insert. I like how the switch modules are interchangeable and can add dimmer beside a switch in a 3G plate.

Those that don’t like black go for the grey BG Nexus range instead.

Out of all the flat plate stuff I’ve ever fitted, the Home Bargains stuff was by far the best to fit. Still looked like crap imo lol

its when youve got a dual box with 2x sw/fuses and the plates never sit flush with eachother without spending a lifetime to get them to sit right

That’s what a wallpaper scraper is for, the really broad one.

See the pics above 123, no bending or bowing even with my carp filling.
