System covering external full-surface THPG white glass
System covering made of 4 mm thick, thermally hardened white glass from the Upper Palatinate Forest (Germany) with outstanding transparency. This covering can only be combined with the special rotary switches from the white glass system without a central insert and is intended as the external piece of a multi-part installation. System coverings can be installed flush next to and below each other.
Single coverings are also available.
Installation note: The wallpaper must not be thicker than 0.5 mm in order to comply with all VDE regulations and standards. Therefore, the hollow wall boxes must be installed neatly so that the plastic disc with a thickness of 1 mm is flush with the wall. The construction of our switches with white glass coverings requires a different installation process than usual: the electrician installs the inner workings and the plexiglass ring. Then wallpaper is hung over the fully connected switch, and finally the coverings are attached. If you want to mount several individual coverings next to each other, you have to take this into account when placing the boxes; in this case, 20 mm spacers are necessary. When installing system coverings, the centres must be exactly 71 mm apart. We generally recommend the Kaiser range of hollow wall boxes, which also includes the appropriate spacers.

White glass from the Upper Palatinate Forest: Color neutral. Highly polished. Thermally tempered.
In this series, the inserts are covered with a virtually color-neutral special glass, whose edge almost disappears in a highly polished 45° facet cut. This visually reduces the robust physicality of the Bakelite or Duroplast switches. This effect is further enhanced when the wall covering is pulled under the glass cover. You can combine the glass covers with all switches and junction boxes from the Bakelite or Duroplast series. Full-surface glass covers are also available, for which we offer special rotary switches without a central insert.
System covers are also available, allowing the switches to be placed next to and below each other. All glass parts originate from one of the formerly numerous glassworks in the Upper Palatinate Forest. The glass panes are 4 mm thick, thermally tempered, and offer outstanding transparency.
All switches, push-buttons, dimmers and sockets are supplied without outer coverings!
Round single coverings, double coverings and round system coverings are available. These can be combined with all switches, push-buttons, dimmers and sockets of the switch system Porcelain.
All coverings can be used in existing installations without any problems, as they have been developed according to the standard spacings. The switch system Porcelain fits in all standard flush-mounted boxes, only for the installation of data sockets flush-mounted boxes with increased volume are recommended.
The individual parts of the switch system Porcelain are not compatible with our other switch systems.
- solid, heavy quality with lavish use of materials
