Good Evening, Does anyone know where to get any metal/metal effect X10 wall faceplates suitable for use in the UK? I have tried the usual X10 stockist but all seem to have the same old bland plastic ones. What we need are some nice brushed steel/stainless steel/chrome or even black!! You can keep your 'nice' brass ones!!

Why not get some made up. Any small metal fabricator should be able to do it. It might be expensive though.IF YOU CAN'T FIX IT WITH A HAMMER, YOU'VE GOT AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM.

Alternately if they are ABS plastic you could get them plated! Search on Google for plastic platers in the UK and you should find some. They can do chrome, but again it isn't that cheap.

Cheers for that, I have seen some black gloss ones on the web in the US, would they be usable in the UK?Dunc's home install:http://www.wordpress-1219309-4387497...o-Gallery.html

I'm a noob to this, so take with a pinch of salt, but couldn't you use the modules which sit in the back of the switchbox with nice looking momentary switches - I've seen those in stainless etc, I'm pretty sure. That would be a lot cheaper (and less hassle) than custom builds...

Aha, and a simpler solution again - it looks like you can find what you are looking for at http://x10-hk.com/store/article_info.php?articles_id=11
I'm not sure how you order the colour combination you want, but it certainly looks possible to get metallics in X10 switches.

Today I already order 10 set for each color. And it should arrive on 18/1/2006. I will post some photo on the Gold / Silver color .
I also want to make some "colorful" wall switch in my home.
