Why go screwless
A standard cover plate leaves screw heads on display, and they rarely stay perfectly aligned or neatly painted over. A screwless wall plate keeps the fasteners out of sight, so the face of the plate stays clean and uninterrupted. On a 2-gang location, where two controls sit together and draw attention, the difference is even more noticeable. The ARANI ED-SI8832N-WH-PL brings that streamlined look to entrances, hallways, kitchens and bedrooms, and helps a renovation feel finished down to the smallest detail.
Installation tips
Always turn off the power at the electrical panel before removing an existing cover. Take off the old plate, then check that both devices sit straight, level and flush with the wall, and that the box is secure. Adjust the device mounting screws if needed, because a screwless plate reveals every bit of misalignment. Mount the new plate, restore the power and test each switch or receptacle. If you are unsure about any part of the job, call a licensed electrician, and remember that the rules for electrical work vary from one province to another.
Design and planning
Plan your plates at the same time as your devices: one white finish across every switch, dimmer and receptacle gives a room a calm, coordinated look. In a kitchen, a 2-gang location beside the counter often groups the switches for the ceiling light and the under-cabinet lighting; in a living room, it may hold the controls for the pot lights and a wall sconce. White works with almost every palette, from pale Scandinavian woods to bold accent walls. The plate also fits right into the ARANI range of wiring devices and accessories, so you can keep one brand for the whole project.
