Knightsbridge Grid & Modular Faceplates — 1G, 2G, 3G and 4G Faceplates and Switch Modules for UK Electricians

The Knightsbridge grid and modular faceplate system is the backbone of flexible wiring accessory installations across UK residential and commercial projects. Whether you need a simple 1G white grid faceplate for a standard light switch, a premium brushed chrome modular plate for a media wall, or a 20AX grid switch module to replace an ageing component, APM Electricals stocks the full Knightsbridge range at trade-friendly prices.

What Are Grid and Modular Faceplates?

Grid and modular systems allow electricians to mix and match individual switch and outlet modules within a single faceplate. Rather than buying pre-configured plates, you choose the faceplate (1G, 2G, 3G or 4G) and populate it with the modules you need — whether that's a 20AX switch, a USB charging outlet, a CAT6 data point or a blank insert. This flexibility is particularly useful in commercial and multi-room AV installations where connection types vary per location.

Knightsbridge uses a standard 25 x 50mm module format, compatible across their entire curved-edge, flat plate, screwless and metalclad faceplate ranges. Modules are interchangeable between plate styles (where the mounting frame matches), giving you both flexibility and a consistent look throughout the installation.

Grid System vs Standard Configured Plates

Standard configured plates (such as a Knightsbridge 2G 2-way switch) are faster to install when the configuration is fixed. The grid system is worth specifying when:

• The module mix at a point is unusual (e.g. one switch + one data module)
• You want to populate later — fit the faceplate now and add modules as the fit-out progresses
• You're replacing a single grid module without disturbing the rest of the plate
• Premium finish co-ordination is required across data, AV and switch points in the same room

For media walls and AV cupboards in particular, the modular system is the professional solution — combining CAT6, USB charging and TV/SAT modules in a single plate, all in the same Knightsbridge finish as the rest of the installation.

Pricing vs Screwfix and Toolstation

APM Electricals prices the Knightsbridge grid and modular range competitively. The 1G and 2G white curved-edge faceplates at £1.49 are sharp buy-in prices for a named brand, and the 20AX grid switch module at £6.99 is comparable with trade counter pricing for a rated, branded module. The brushed chrome 1G faceplate at £6.99 is a cost-effective way to lift a single data or switch point without fitting premium switch plates throughout.
