Electrical switch paint protector

Thing: 4385890

I designed this as I'm fed up with my painter and decorator getting paint on the lighting and power switch plates.

I prefer all my electrical switches to be screwed off the wall so that the wall can be painted behind.

The issue with this is the switch often 'droops' on the attached wires and touches the wall below it. The painter can't paint neatly under the switch plate and it ends up touching the freshly painted wall creating a mark in the paint.

I created two files.

One for Double Sockets Outlets (13a DSO’s) with two spaces, 5mm and 10mm.

The second file is universal and for Double Socket Outlets, Single Socket Outlets and light switches. This also has two spaces of 5mm and 10mm.
This is designed to fit different width face plates. The gap can either be left open or a bit of tape used to cover the face plate to stop any paint splashes.

**V0.4** update. The universal model has been changed so that it fits a standard single switch (SSO). For larg
