Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good looking fitting Nice finish in antique brass which compliments decor

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Nice, but.... Nice switches. Replaced the whole house quite easily (as noted some longer screws required) but have had two switches fail within 18 months (dodgy contactor). Replaced by Screwfix but will keep an eye on reliability.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Longer screws please The screws are too short by at least 2-3mm, a 10 minute job turns into a 45 minute p-in-the-a and I've had to use the old chromed screws until I access brass ones. Apart from this I'm happy with the switch just be aware of the above.

Are the products in this British General Nexus Metal (Antique Brass) range really made from plastic?

If so, how well do they wear? Easily scratched for example?
Asked by: Grimmster
Hi Grimmster, The faceplate and switch rocker are a coated metal, but the rear mechanism is housed in a plastic enclosure to ensure necessary electrical insulation. The coating is designed to resist normal levels of usage and wear, but it is definitely possible to scratch or even over-clean the material and cause damage to the metal or the coating.

Are longer screws (of the same finish) available?

Asked by: Richyhorse
Hi Richyhorse, We don't get enough call for Antique Brass screws to be making additional length or separate screw packs unfortunately. Probably your next best option would be to use Screw Extenders to lengthen the supplied screws so that they reach your backbox.
