How to Install a Crystal Clear Light Switch Over Wallpaper
When you receive your Crystal Clear Light Switch you will find three parts, the Switch Mechanism, a Blank Template Cut Out and finally a Crystal Clear Cover.
Simply wire then fix the switch or socket to a standard flush wall box making sure the wallpaper or paint is finished up to the edge of the box.
Using the blank template provided cut out a sample of matching wallpaper and check the pattern matches the surrounding paper. If you are installing onto a painted wall simply paint the template the same colour as the wall.
You should now have your paper sample ready along with the clear Crystal Clear Faceplate and 2 fixing screws.
Place the clear Crystal Clear Faceplate over the paper sample. You should find that this fits perfectly right to the edges of the faceplate. Carefully make a couple of holes so the screws will pass through the faceplate comfortably.
Carefully place the Crystal Clear Faceplate and paper sample into position over the switch or socket mechanism and fix using the screws provided.
That’s it! You should now have your Crystal Clear Faceplate in place giving the illusion that the wallpapered or painted wall runs seamlessly behind the switch plate.
Crystal Clear Faceplates are less than 3mm thick with bevelled edges and are available with a variety of metal inserts in different finishes.
