GridPro from Scolmore is an extensive range of interchangeable mounting plates and modules, available in the most comprehensive choice of finishes – offering contractors the ultimate in flexible, modular grid solutions.
The range was developed with speed and ease of installation as key attributes. It provides installers with the flexibility to create multi-function, 1 to 24 gang plates which are styled to seamlessly integrate with Scolmore’s vast range of Click wiring accessories.
GridPro range
With a number of unique features that set it apart in the marketplace, the GridPro range from Scolmore offers contractors an unrivaled modular wiring solution, in order to allow them to take on a variety of projects, from domestic through to bigger and more complex commercial installations.
Unique to GridPro is the screw attachment feature, which means that no yoke is required for any modules, when using 1-4 gang plates - the modules can be simply screwed directly on to the plates. With some products on the market requiring yokes to be purchased as separate components, this will have implications, when considering overall costs and labor requirements for a project.
GridPro modules work with standard BS4622 back boxes
Another cost- and labor-saving feature is the universal GridPro yoke
Because the 1-4 gang plates do not require a yoke, installers have the added advantage that the GridPro modules can be used with standard BS4622 back boxes, so as to allow the fixing screws to sit on the horizontal axis. With all GridPro plates featuring horizontal fixing screws, this gives a uniform and aesthetic look, throughout the range.
Another cost- and labor-saving feature is the universal GridPro yoke, which means a single yoke can be used for any Click plate styles (with the exception of Definity). Tabs on the yoke are removed with a simple snap, in order to allow the yoke to fit into the back box.
Where a yoke is required on the multi-tier plates (6-24 gang), there is a clip attachment on the top and bottom of the module, which allows for fast and easy removal, and assembly of the module to the grid yoke, either by hand or small tool. All modules come with fully backed off captivated terminal screws for ease of assembly – also unique to the GridPro range.
1 to 24-gang grid plates
The 1 to 24-gang grid plates are available for each of the existing Click wiring accessory ranges – Deco Plus, Deco, Definity, Define, Mode, Polar and Metal Clad. All switch modules are 20A rated – making them ideal for commercial applications.
More than 600 individual products made up the overall range, when it was first launched in 2017. Since then, Scolmore has continued to invest in the range and this has led to the introduction in early 2018 of a special in-house laser etching service, across all GridPro modules.
Module etching via specially acquired laser printer
The idea behind this was to add value to an already successful range and help customers to save time and money. The module etching is done using a specially acquired laser printer, which produces a precise, permanent, fine marking effect and offers flexibility to suit large volume orders or for customized jobs.
With this in-house facility, Scolmore is able to offer a fully bespoke service to customers
With this in-house facility, Scolmore is able to offer a fully bespoke service to customers, who will be able to order customized laser etched modules, to suit the range of projects they are working on.
14 of the most popular printed legends will be produced, including dishwasher, cooker hood, washing machine, fridge freezer and they are available in all the GridPro module finishes, thereby providing a huge selection for customers to choose from. Scolmore is also able to offer a bespoke service if required.
Addition of a range of media modules
The most recent development with GridPro has been the addition of a range of media modules that will widen the appeal and applications for the range, with specifiers and contractors.
Launched last September, these new modules are fully compatible with the GridPro range and have been designed to allow a combination of power and media modules within the same plate.
Broader installation of GridPro across varied applications
A total of 16 media modules have been added, including USB, VGA, Satellite, TV, Telephone, RJ11, RJ45 CAT-6, RCA x2, Loudspeaker x 2, Audio Jack, HIFI, HDMI, Time Delay, and Buzzer modules.
These additions will expand the installation of GridPro across an array of applications, where some form of media or media and power combination is required, such as education and training facilities, offices, healthcare premises, hotels, and conference rooms.
