Description
Wall switch cover expanders will extend the area around your single gang electrical switch plate to hide gapping, unsightly built-up paint, or cracked drywall around your wall box. These expansion panels are 1-1/2" taller and 1-1/4" wider compared to a regular single wall plate cover and act as wall guards to protect the paint around covers in high-traffic areas. Larger than both regular and oversized switch plates, these Oversized Light Switch Cover Extenders are an easy, affordable way to correct visual flaws caused by contractor errors or remodeling changes.
