What Is the Screwless Definity Range?

The Definity range is a premium screwless electrical accessories collection with no visible fixings, a slim flat profile, precision construction, and a wide range of finish and insert combinations. Each fitting is engineered for smooth, satisfying operation and long-lasting performance.

Metal Black Finish with Black Inserts: Total Dark Immersion

Metal Black is a dark finish applied over a metallic base, giving the plate a depth and richness that goes beyond a standard matt black. The metallic base gives the black a subtle complexity — not quite reflective, but not entirely flat either — that feels genuinely premium. Paired with matching black inserts, the result is a completely tonal dark fitting that is bold, immersive, and unmistakably high-end.

How to Style Metal Black with Black Inserts

In Dark & Moody Interiors

The Definity Metal Black with Black Inserts is the definitive choice for dark, moody interiors. Against dark walls, the fitting blends almost invisibly, maintaining the immersive quality of the dark scheme. The metallic base adds a subtle depth that prevents the fitting from feeling flat or lost against the wall.

For minimalist interiors with a dark palette, the tonal black-on-black Definity delivers a fitting that is as close to invisible as a dark fitting can be — a seamless, uninterrupted dark surface.

In Contemporary & Industrial Interiors

Metal Black with Black Inserts works beautifully in contemporary and industrial interiors where dark hardware, dark cabinetry, and dark colour palettes create a bold, confident aesthetic.

Coordinating with Other Hardware

Metal Black coordinates with matt black, black nickel, and other dark metallic finishes. For a cohesive scheme, use Metal Black consistently across all switches and sockets throughout the space.

Installation Tips

All electrical work must comply with Part P of the Building Regulations.
