Yet another faceplate source request

Sorry about this...I have done a search and trawled through quite a few of the threads on faceplates.

I am trying to find somewhere that does ranges of faceplates that match. I need light switches, dimmers, plug sockets, phone sockets, cat5 sockets, 7.1 all in one faceplates, dual and single speaker faceplates, single phone master and slave, twin co-ax and hdmi.......but I want them all to match or be part of the same range/make......and I would like to find somewhere that offers all of the above in a few different finishes.......


.......don't want much do I

I have not found anywhere that does all that to match but a lot of it is going to be on show in a cottage we are finishing the renovation on and I want to get it looking right and not have plates that are all different.

Any help and links would be greatly appreciated

Anymore suggestions from anyone?

Re: Yet another faceplate source request

I just replaced all my wall sockets with polished chrome flat plates, most of them I got from tlc, they'll have everything you've asked for except the audio plates and they seem cheaper than screwfix etc:

Chelsea Flat Plate Chrome Accessories Twin Single Double Switched Sockets Intermediate

The audio plates I got from nexxia:

Chrome Dolby Speaker Wall Plates

They match up nicely, I have speakers where the cable goes through the wall fixing though so didn't need individual speaker wall plates - I guess nexxia do them but I haven't looked.

Thanks

They seem good prices and look nice. I thought it looked like I was going to have to go for the Nexxia stuff and then get others that are the closest match but just wanted to be sure there was nowhere that did everything in one range.

Thanks again.

Re: Yet another faceplate source request

I would get matching faceplate too from TLC as they are priced well and they have a good range to choose from.

I would then get some blank matching plates and you could make up what you need to suit your requirements.

If you need a 7.1 face plate with a single or double sub connection then just drill the face plate and add your connections.

Have a look at CPC's website they will have all the speaker, rca, hdmi, coax, etc connectors you will ever need.
