The crystal clear Perception CFX range from Hamilton Litestat has been proving popular with designers of period and heritage interiors, despite it being one of the decorative electrical wiring accessories company’s most contemporary looking plate designs.

Perception CFX features completely concealed fixings and has been designed to blend subtly against the wall, allowing the wall covering to be visible through the clear, snap-on front plate. The switch and socket inserts themselves are available in a range of types, colours and finishes to complement all wall coverings from traditional to contemporary.

“Many period properties, whether it’s homes, hotels, churches or other public buildings were built before electricity became commonplace – or was even invented – therefore switches and sockets have had to be retrofitted, which can sometimes look out of place,” commented managing director Ian Hamilton. “The beauty of using a clear plate is that it can minimise the intrusion of modern accessories into heritage buildings, so as not to detract from the original features and period style.”
