Both are modular: the mechanisms are sold separately from the frames, and frames come in 1\u20135 gang sizes. So a block by the bed or above the worktop can be put together exactly the way you need.

Within a collection you can play with colour: a frame in the same colour as the modules gives a seamless look, a contrasting one \u2014 an accent. For example, black modules in a black frame on a white wall become a graphic detail, while white ones in a white frame are almost invisible. You will find more examples in the article <a href=\"https:\/\/switchpoint.com.ua\/en\/?p=1284\">on the colour of sockets and switches<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to work out what to buy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One module takes up one gang of the frame: a switch and two sockets in one block \u2014 that makes a 3-gang frame.
