I've seen recessed downlights that fit in/on the ceiling prior to plastering, then after the ceiling is plastered the light has no visible bezel, just a recess in which the light sits. Search google images for 'trimless downlights' for examples. Is there a system to achieve the same effect with switches and sockets? The alternative is flat-plate switches and sockets, which is not quite what I'm after. If it makes a difference to the answer I'm in the UK. |

I think you still need a metal/plastic backing plate, if only for access. Would you expect to see screws, or just a flush surface? Would you expect to demolish the overcovering of plaster to service the device? You could achieve this effect by trimming a flat plate to sit inside the normal box cutout. Mudding the switch would require building a dam around the switch cutout, perhaps modeling clay or some such. The ideal plate would be a reverse of a normal plate, which rounds off into the wall. This reversed model would cup upwards slightly, to hold the plaster. Still don't like not having access. Couldn't you do a nice wallpaper cover. I've seen those that hide switches and outlets very well. As I recall, Europe has some heavy duty coverings that would mask the switches quite well. These paintable wallpapers illustrate what I mean |
