FAQ

When choosing the perfect switch plate cover for your space, it’s natural to have questions! At Wood Wall Plates LLC, we’re here to help you navigate your options. From stunning wood finishes to unique designs, our high-quality decorative wall plates will enhance your home or office beautifully.

  • Why are wood wall plates popular?

    Wood wall plates offer aesthetic appeal and a rustic style. They also offer insulation and protection to your home.

  • How do I choose a switch plate cover?

    Consider factors like a quality material, design and finish to match your decor, the number of gangs needed for your switches/outlets, and whether it has features like a backer plate.

  • Are switch plate covers standard size?

    *Please note that all Wood Wall Plates are oversized. 


    Rustic plate sizes variations are dictated by the wood chosen at the production process. Traditional plate layouts are similar in size because of the production process.


    Regular switchplates are a standard 4-1/2" high (4.5" or 114.3 mm) and 5/32" deep (0.16" or 4.0 mm). Width varies based on the number of gangs: One gang plates are 2-3/4" W (2.75" or 69.9 mm) Two gangs are 4-9/16" wide (4.56" or 115.8 mm)

  • How do you customize outlet covers?

    Use a custom configuration option to select the wood, the number of gangs, the proper electrical options needed for your switch plate layout.

  • What is the difference between standard and midway size?

    Standard is the most popular size for general use. Midway is slightly larger on all sides to help cover wall imperfections. Jumbo is notably larger on all sides to help cover more significant wall imperfections.

  • Will each wall plate look the same?

    We suggest ordering each project at the same time so we can choose complementary patterns for your order. But because mother nature is responsible for each tree, we cannot match the plates exactly. Each plate will have several unique characteristics which is why these items are so coveted for that special decor.

  • How long will my order take?

    Because we make each order just for you, we ask for a 10-day lead time for production. However, because every customer is so important to us, we will do all we can to expedite that 10 day lead time and ship as soon as we get them finished.
