Hello World! Welcome Friends! Modern-day homes contain more electronic devices and connections than ever before. Many of these lights and gadgets are controlled by switches, which need switch plates to prevent wiring from being exposed. Also, it is crucial to label all your switches to differentiate between devices and avoid mistakes that could damage appliances. Here are four useful engraving ideas for switch plates you should know about.
Name of Appliances Controlled By The Switch
Nowadays, homes contain several electrical appliances that can be controlled from different switches. These appliance switches are typically installed in utility rooms, bathrooms, and kitchens, to isolate or control the power of gadgets and electronic devices. Also, they are usually located in easy-to-access areas where the appliance’s location would otherwise prohibit easy access to the power source, like under a worktop.
Some of these kitchen appliance switches come with the device name, so you can quickly identify and turn off electricity during emergencies. However, you may need to reach out to experts such as The Engraving People to provide custom engraved switch plates bearing the names of your lamps, televisions, computers, and many more. This way, you can know each switch’s function, making it easier for you and your family to run your home.
Switch Function (Text)
Multiple lamp fixtures, cabinet lighting, spotlights, dining area fixtures, decorative pendant lights, and recessed lights are prime examples of light fixtures that many homeowners install in their kitchen spaces nowadays. Additionally, it is common to see ceiling, pendant, vanity, mirror, and track lights in single bathroom areas, meaning more switches are necessary for these spaces. Furthermore, outdoor and landscape lighting that brighten your home exterior and keep you safe is also essential – all of which require their switches.
However, the presence of all these switches within your home can quickly become confusing for you, your guests, and your family members, so you can address this by engraving each switch’s function on the switch plates. For example, engraved words like “outdoor” or “patio” on exterior light switch plates can make it easier to locate the appropriate switches, making your home more user-friendly.
On/ Off Switch Labels
Schools, offices, hotels, and other large buildings typically have numerous operating switches that control lights and devices around the property. With no labels to indicate which switches turn on and off, people may end up turning off lights and appliances in use. As such, it is an excellent idea to engrave on and off switch labels at the bottom and top of switch plates to reduce guesswork and inform users whether a switch turns a device or light fixture on or off.
Symbols
Besides text and on/ off functions, you can also engrave symbols onto switch plates to communicate information that can be hard to convey using words. Stainless steel laser engraving can carve out permanent symbols on stainless steel that make excellent wall switch plates. These plates are best installed in hospitals, kitchens, bathrooms, laboratories, and other commercial spaces where clean, smooth surfaces are desirable.
