Decorative Glass Frames for Switches and Sockets
Standard plastic frames fulfill their function, but if you want to give your home, office, or commercial space a true sense of luxury and exclusivity, tempered glass decorative frames for electrical installations are designers' first choice. The problem with big, well-known brands (Brand Tax) is that you often have to part with a cosmic sum for a single glass frame. The VIDEX decorative glass frame line changes the rules of the game by offering uncompromising premium material and visual depth, allowing you to modernize and highlight all the walls of the room.
Why switching from plastic to VIDEX tempered glass is a great TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) investment:
- Does not scratch or yellow: Unlike cheap acrylic or ABS plastic, which quickly gets micro-scratches from dusting and fades in the sun, tempered glass retains its perfect, crystal-clear shine and shape for decades. You won't have to replace them after the next cosmetic renovation.
- Luxury mirror effect: The smooth glass surface beautifully reflects light, creating an expensive, visually wider, and cleaner sense of space. They match perfectly with glass, stone, or smoothly painted surfaces.
- Modular and straight facade: The VIDEX system offers frames from 1 to 5 gangs in one block. You can aesthetically combine a light switch, an internet socket, and several power outlets into one monolithic, symmetrical, and continuous glass panel.

Q: What is the engineering rationale for using thermally tempered glass in frames?
Q: How is the optical clarity of glass frames protected from fading in the sun?
Q: How does the chamfering of sharp corners (Beveled Edges) improve the operational safety of glass frames?
Q: How is the gap-free fixation of glass frames and wiring mechanisms ensured?
Q: Are deepened wall boxes required for the installation of glass frames?
A: Tempered glass is treated at 600°C, making it approximately 5 times more resistant to mechanical impact and thermal stress than regular glass. In the event of an impact, it shatters into small, blunt crystals, completely eliminating the risk of cuts and severe injuries.
Q: How is the optical clarity of glass frames protected from fading in the sun?
A: The color pigment is molecularly embedded in the back layer of the glass before the tempering process, blocking UV ray access to the pigment. This guarantees color stability without fading, even under decades of direct sunlight exposure.
Q: How does the chamfering of sharp corners (Beveled Edges) improve the operational safety of glass frames?
A: The edges of the frame are industrially ground and polished, physically removing sharp facets. This prevents accidental injuries during hand contact and protects the glass itself from microcracks during installation.
Q: How is the gap-free fixation of glass frames and wiring mechanisms ensured?
A: VIDEX glass frames use a flexible polycarbonate (PC) adapter on the back, which firmly snaps onto the mechanism's steel support via Snap-On clips. This dampening transition prevents direct glass-to-metal contact and presses the frame precisely against the wall.
Q: Are deepened wall boxes required for the installation of glass frames?
A: No, the base architecture of the glass frames is standardized to a 71 mm center distance and is compatible with all classic Ø 60-68 mm mounting boxes. The electrician does not need to alter the installation depth, and the frames can be safely installed over existing mechanisms.
