1 gang and 2 gang faceplates with brushes in them

I am after some brush faceplates but can only find one place that does them and the shipping is as much as the faceplate itself. Was wondering if anyone knew of any other places i might find them.

Many thanks

Hi Johnny,

TLC do a whole range of switches many of which have a brushed chrome option.

You can also avoid the shipping if there is a TLC store near you.

Take a look here TLC Direct

They are custom made made by a company called ACA-Apex, based just outside Dunstable.

You could give him a call and ask if he supplies anyone local, unless you live near Tring and we have them on the shelf here!

Re: 1 gang and 2 gang faceplates with brushes in them

I've been looking for these too without much luck. I only found the same supplier as JonnyFive I thought they'd be a good way to complete my setup till I have the time to drill my own custom faceplates but the shipping is more than the item which always makes me reluctant to purchase.

He is after a brushed faceplate as in the picture to allow cables to come through neatly. Not a brushed effect finished faceplate.


I got mine from Aldous Systems. Searched all over the net and no one else sells them AFAIK. P&P is high, but I just choose airmail which is the cheaper option and they still sent them.
