fitting your situation
Our porcelain switches are solid on their own, but if you're fitting one over an existing wall box, you'll need a backplate underneath. This applies whatever you're working with, EU, UK or US wall boxes all sit slightly differently, and the backplate is what bridges that gap.
Solid wood backplates (walnut or beech) are sold separately, both single and double, so you can build your own combination. Each has a central opening for the rear of the switch to sit into.
As wall boxes vary by country, system and building period, the backplates are left largely undrilled. That means they can be adapted to your setup: fixed to an existing wall box, aligned to new screw points, or mounted directly to the wall, with adhesive for example.
You can find a full installation video under the dropdown menu to the right, under Installation.
As every home is different, we recommend fitting by a qualified electrician or experienced professional. If you're unsure what would work for your space, email us on shop@hazel-morris.com. We're happy to advise.

This classic surface-mounted light switch is crafted from smooth porcelain with a solid brass toggle, inspired by traditional switches found in old country houses. Together, the porcelain and warm brass bring a timeless, handcrafted character to any room.
As a surface-mounted design, it's ideal for older properties, renovations, or situations where recessed wiring isn't possible. It also doubles as a charming architectural detail.
