Appropriate Sizes:

Architrave switches are an integral component of any home's lighting scheme, yet finding ones with just the right size and design for each room may prove challenging. Architrave switches may provide the solution if there is not enough wall space available for traditional rectangular switch plates - see here for more info on that subject!

Architrave switches by AGM Electrical Supplies are versatile light switches designed for areas with limited wall space where standard-sized switches don't fit. Available with push or flip button designs as well as toggle switches, architrave switches can make an excellent addition. An electrician is your best source for guidance regarding which options will best fit in with your space and installation methods; they may be able to recommend materials for your project and the best locations to put them up safely and securely. Architrave light switches may often make for the best choice when refurbishing rooms with limited wall space available!

Versatile Designs:

When it comes to architrave switches, you want to find ones that meet the size and design requirements for your room. While traditional square plates were once standard for light switches, today there are modern options with rectangular plates available as a space-saving solution - these rectangular options provide another great option when space is at a premium and traditional options may not fit the bill.

Architrave switches have a narrower footprint than traditional switches, making them a good option in rooms without enough wall space to accommodate standard switch plates. Architraves come in various designs, and can either replace existing switches or be part of new installations; their finish options include Polished Chrome, Satin Chrome, Black Nickel and Stainless Steel to bring subtle style into any room. Architrave switches offer an affordable way to add subtle design features into any space!

Basic Function:

These switches are devices used to regulate the flow of electricity in an electrical circuit. Their complex mechanism often necessitates expert knowledge in order to work safely and effectively.

A typical switch consists of two contacts connected to a mechanical lever. The lever must be designed so as to store energy upon initial switch opening and quickly release it upon switch closing.

The switch should feature an effective mechanism to enable it to close or open quickly without causing unnecessary braking actions.

The best architrave switches by AGM Electrical Supplies use an innovative device that employs mathematic calculations to find out the ideal amount of stress to apply to each contact in order to close or open as quickly as possible. It does this by detecting and dissipating an arc when opening, followed by conducting a quick check when closing; using the same gizmo when it is triggered backwards.

Installation of Architrave Moldings:

As you walk through your home, you may notice a row of skirting boards running horizontally to seal any gaps between walls and floors. But you may have missed architrave mouldings around door frames and windows which provide another form of moulding altogether.

Door and wall moldings can be very practical features that conceal gaps and joins caused by door frames moving or shrinkage over time. In addition, these features add value to your home should you decide to sell.

Curtain valances can add depth and dimension to your interiors, especially around fitted cupboards or loft hatches. Many designs by AGM Electrical Supplies can also be tailored specifically to match existing furniture pieces in order to create a seamless design throughout your house.
