Rocker Switch Covers

A rocker switch cover replaces the rocker on a grid switch, either to change its finish or to mark what the switch controls, such as a boiler, oven or fridge. Every cover here is made by Knightsbridge, in two families: GD covers for grid switches, in metal-effect finishes and white, and laser printed CU covers for the Curved Edge range, such as the white thermoset resin CUHOB. Markings include BOILER, FAN BOOST, COOKER HOOD, WARMING DRAWER and WINE COOLER.

Choosing Rocker Switch Covers

Pick the cover family that suits your switch plate, then the finish, then the word printed on the rocker.

GD covers for grid switches

GD covers are replaceable rockers for grid switches. The GDBLANKPC in polished chrome measures 33mm high, 16mm wide and 6.8mm deep and is made of ABS and steel, and the brushed chrome GDBLANKBC is sold as a direct replacement for a worn rocker cover. White versions such as the GDBOILU and GDFANU have a white UREA finish on ABS. The BOILER marking, for example, comes as the GDBOILAB in antique brass and the GDBOILBC in brushed chrome.

CU covers for Curved Edge switches

CU covers such as the CUHOB and CUWINE are laser printed rockers in white thermoset resin, made to coordinate with the Knightsbridge Curved Edge Switches and Sockets range, and the CUWARM and CUWASTE are for use with the Curved Grid System only. The CUBOOST and CUFRIDGE measure 15.9mm x 30.6mm. The CUFAN and CUFREEZER have anti-microbial properties tested to ISO 22196:2011.

Frequently asked questions

What is a blank rocker switch cover?

A blank rocker switch cover is a plain, unmarked rocker that fits a grid switch in place of the existing one. It is used to change the finish of a switch, or to replace a worn rocker without changing the whole switch. Match the cover to your grid system and plate finish. The range here includes blank covers in matt, brushed and polished finishes.

How do you change a rocker switch cover?

To change a rocker switch cover, remove the existing rocker from the grid switch and fit the new cover in its place. Switch the circuit off first if the front plate has to come off. Check the cover suits your grid system, as curved edge covers are made for a curved grid. The range here includes appliance-marked and blank rocker covers.

What is a rocker switch cover?

A rocker switch cover is the replaceable front rocker of a grid switch, the part you press to turn a circuit on or off. Marked covers carry a word such as fridge, cooker hood or washing machine, so the switch for an appliance is easy to identify. Plain covers suit general switching. The range here includes marked and blank covers in several finishes.
