Five-fold frame - GOLD METALLIC R-5Y/28

Five-gang frame with metallic sheen – a balance between function and aesthetics

This frame is not merely a cover for five modules; it’s an element that combines precise installation with visual lightness. Designed as part of the Impresja series, it features a subtly convex line based on a square shape, giving it a distinctive, modern appearance without excessive boldness. Its form does not demand attention, yet it does not disappear into the background—it acts as a subtle accent in any interior arrangement.

Constructed from ABS plastic, it is not metallic, but its surface features a golden metallic sheen: lacquered, brushed, with a finish that reflects light like a delicate film. This is not the shiny gold of the 90s—it’s a warm, matte tone that performs well in both minimalist interiors and more decorative spaces. It does not clash with wood, stone, or fabrics—it complements them.

Recessed mounting is straightforward: the frame fits standard 28 mm backboxes. No special tools or additional grounding are required—it is purely an aesthetic component. Keep in mind: it does not provide water or dust protection on its own. IP44 protection applies only to the modules installed within it. In other words: if you install an IP44-rated socket or switch behind it, the entire assembly complies with the standard. If not—the frame simply looks good.

Why does this frame work for both installer and user?

• Reduces installation points – instead of five individual frames, you install one. Fewer holes in the wall, less effort required for leveling and alignment.
• Eliminates color-matching needs – if you have five different modules (e.g., switches, sockets, dimmers), a single-color frame unifies them without requiring compatible housings.
• Resists dust and fingerprints – unlike real metal, the lacquered ABS is easier to clean than brushed aluminum frames.
• Works on any wall color – from white and pastels to dark and intense tones. The metallic gold does not aggressively stand out, yet it remains visible even against dark backgrounds.
• No sharp edges – rounded corners are safer during installation and less prone to damage during transport or handling.

When should you choose this frame?

If you want five functions (switches, sockets, dimmers) in one location, but don’t want it to look like an “electrical panel.” If your interior features modern or classic elements—this frame harmonizes with any style. If durability matters: the manufacturer offers a 7-year warranty on the entire Impresja series.

This is not the solution for those seeking genuine metal. But for those who desire the aesthetics of metal without its drawbacks (fingerprints, condensation risk)—it is one of the best options on the market.
