01. What is this wallplate made of?

02. What are the benefits of upgrading to Amerelle decorative wallplates?

Decorative wallplates are an easy way to give switches and outlets a more finished, intentional look. Amerelle offers a wide variety of materials, finishes, and styles, making it easy to coordinate wallplates with your hardware, lighting, furnishings, and overall decor.

03. Do Amerelle wallplates include matching mounting screws?

Yes. Amerelle decorative wallplates include coordinating mounting screws designed to complement the wallplate finish for a more complete, finished appearance.

04. What rooms are Amerelle decorative wallplates best suited for?

Amerelle decorative wallplates can be used throughout the home, including kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms, living rooms, dining rooms, home offices, entryways, and more. They’re also a renter-friendly way to personalize apartments and rental homes, since replacing a wallplate is a simple, non-destructive update that can easily be changed back later. Choose a design and finish that works with the room’s hardware, fixtures, paint, wallpaper, or overall decor.

05. What decor styles does this wallplate complement?

06. How do I choose the right wallplate design and finish for my space?

Start with the surfaces and finishes already shaping the room, such as paint color, wallpaper, backsplash, and trim. From there, look at nearby hardware, lighting, faucets, and other fixtures to decide whether you want the wallplate to blend in, coordinate closely, or add a subtle contrast. The best choice is one that feels connected to the room as a whole rather than matched to just one element.

07. What are the dimensions of this wallplate?

01. How do I install this Amerelle wallplate?

Start by turning off power to the switch or outlet at the circuit breaker. Remove the existing wallplate, align the Amerelle wallplate with the switch or outlet, and secure it with the included mounting screws without overtightening. Once the wallplate is securely in place, turn the power back on at the circuit breaker.

02. Will an Amerelle wallplate fit my existing switch or outlet?

Amerelle wallplates are designed to fit standard electrical switches and outlets when the wallplate configuration matches the device. Before ordering, simply check that the number and type of openings on the wallplate match your existing toggle switch, rocker or decorator switch, duplex outlet, GFCI outlet, or other device.

03. What is the difference between a toggle, rocker, and duplex wallplate?

Toggle wallplates have narrow vertical openings for traditional lever-style light switches. Rocker wallplates have larger rectangular openings for paddle-style switches, dimmers, GFCI outlets, and other decorator-style devices. Duplex wallplates have rounded openings for standard two-receptacle electrical outlets. Choosing the correct style is simply a matter of matching the wallplate opening to your existing switch or outlet.

04. Do I need an electrician to install Amerelle wallplates?

In most cases, you can easily replace an Amerelle wallplate yourself—no electrician required. After turning off power at the circuit breaker, remove the existing wallplate and install the new one using the included mounting screws. If the switch, outlet, or wiring itself needs to be repaired or modified, we recommend contacting a qualified electrician.

05. What tools are needed for installation?

In most cases, all you’ll need is a flathead screwdriver that fits the included mounting screws. No special tools are required when replacing a compatible existing wallplate.

06. Is this wallplate safety certified or listed?

01. Does Amerelle offer a Trade Program for interior designers, architects, and other industry professionals?

Yes. The Amerelle Trade Program is designed for qualified interior designers, architects, builders, contractors, and other industry professionals. Members can access trade benefits and resources for residential, commercial, hospitality, and other design projects. To learn more or request access, contact us at designers@amerellewallplates.com

02. Why do design and building professionals choose Amerelle wallplates?

Amerelle offers a broad selection of wallplate materials, finishes, configurations, and design styles, giving design and building professionals more flexibility when coordinating switches and outlets with the rest of an interior. Standard white plastic wallplates are often treated as visual distractions in finished project photography and even edited out of professional portfolio images. Our goal is to make wallplates feel just as considered as cabinet hardware, lighting, faucets, and other decorative details, so they contribute to the design instead of disappearing from it.

03. Can Amerelle wallplates be specified for new construction and remodeling projects?

Yes. Amerelle decorative wallplates can be specified for new construction, remodeling, renovation, and interior design projects. Our team can also help designers, architects, builders, contractors, and other professionals with product selection and project needs.

04. Can Amerelle decorative wallplates be used in commercial spaces?

Absolutely. Amerelle decorative wallplates are well suited for many commercial and hospitality interiors, including hotels, restaurants, offices, multifamily properties, and other professionally designed spaces. With a wide range of designs, materials, and finishes available, wallplates can be selected to coordinate with the surrounding interior rather than feeling like an afterthought.

05.  Does Amerelle offer custom capabilities for wallplates and decorative hardware?

Yes. Amerelle offers a dedicated custom decorative hardware program for designers, architects, builders, hospitality groups, retailers, and other professional and commercial customers. Depending on the project, we can help with custom colors, finishes, materials, specifications, or entirely new wallplate and decorative hardware designs. Because custom projects may involve minimum order quantities, tooling, prototyping, and development costs, the program is generally best suited for professional and commercial applications.

06. Can Amerelle help with product selection for larger projects?

Yes. Amerelle’s in-house design team can help professionals select wallplate styles, finishes, configurations, and product options for larger residential and commercial projects. Contact our team to tell us a little about your project, and we can help you find options that fit your design and product needs.

07. Who should I contact about a trade, commercial, or custom project?

We’d be happy to help with Trade Program access, product selection, project requirements, specification questions, and custom opportunities. For Trade Program access, commercial, specification, or custom project inquiries, contact the Amerelle team at designers@amerellewallplates.com
