- Two round holes, two slots and four small screw holes.
- Covers the wiring hole or round junction box at a light point.

A round sheet is the flat round base at a light point. It is fixed over the round junction box or the wiring hole on a ceiling or wall, and the batten holder, angle holder or ceiling rose then screws onto it, with the wires coming through the holes in the sheet.
This 3 inch size suits standard holder and ceiling rose points. For a larger opening or a fitting with a wider base, choose our 6 inch PVC round sheet.
Where to use it
- Ceiling and wall light points with batten or angle holders.
- Ceiling rose points for pendant lights.
- Covering round junction boxes at conduit light points.
- Neat light points on surface wiring and casing-capping runs.
- Replacing old wooden round blocks.
How to install
- Switch off the circuit at the MCB and check that the point is dead.
- Bring the wires through the sheet and screw the sheet over the box or wiring hole.
- Screw the holder or ceiling rose onto the sheet and connect it.
Electrical work should be done by a licensed electrician with the supply switched off.
Frequently asked questions
- What is a PVC round sheet used for?
- It is the round base at a light point: it covers the junction box or wiring hole and gives a flat surface for a batten holder, angle holder or ceiling rose.
- 3 inch or 6 inch — which do I need?
- The 3 inch sheet suits standard holder and ceiling rose points. The 6 inch sheet covers a larger opening or gives a wider base for bigger fittings.
- How is it fixed?
- With screws through its holes — onto the junction box, or to the wall or ceiling with wall plugs. The holder or ceiling rose then screws onto the sheet.
- Which fittings can go on it?
- A batten holder, angle holder or ceiling rose whose base is no wider than the sheet. Check the base of your fitting; for a wider base, use the 6 inch sheet.
- Why PVC instead of a wooden block?
- PVC does not rot, swell or attract termites, and it stays white and neat.
- Can it be used outdoors?
- It is meant for indoor walls and ceilings. Outdoor points need weatherproof boxes and fittings.
