Cover Plates for Power Points and Switches

Cover plates offer a practical and straightforward solution for finishing off socket outlets, light switches, and other electrical or mechanical installations. They help protect wiring and components while keeping things tidy. At Sparky Direct, we stock a massive range of options in various colours and brands for use in residential, commercial, and mobile applications. They’re all Australian standards and compatible with standard fittings and ready for dispatch.

Cover plates are used to cover power points, junction boxes, outlets, and more. Their primary job is to keep live parts out of reach and provide a clean finish. Whether you're working on a residential or commercial project, using the right size and type ensures a safe and compliant install. We stock standard cover plates that fit well with existing accessories and don’t require fiddly adjustments.

Options for Switches and Power Points

Whether you're finishing off a residential fit-out, retrofit, or updating a commercial install, Sparky Direct stocks a practical range of flat cover and raised cover plates to suit most jobs.

White Cover Plate or Black Cover Plate?

Sure, white and black are classic choices—but why stop there? Our range of cover plates goes far beyond the basics. We offer a variety of practical finishes designed to suit any space and style.

White – The go-to for most residential and light commercial installs. Clean and simple.

Black – A modern look for bold interiors or contrast on white walls.

Brushed Aluminium – Metallic finish, ideal for kitchens, commercial spaces, or areas needing wear resistance (this is the perfect "metal cover" aka "steel cover" look).

Crowne – A subtle, textured finish that offers a unique touch without being too bold.

Vivid White – Brighter and crisper than standard white. Perfect for modern décor and matching newer switchgear.

Iconic Cover – Clipsal has been a powerhouse in the electrical world for decades, and there’s a reason they call their covers “Iconic.” These covers don’t just look good—they set the standard. With clean lines, innovative design, and a finish that fits effortlessly into any modern space, Iconic covers live up to their name. They’re more than just faceplates or grid plates—they're a signature style from a trusted brand.
