Switches made of porcelain, Bakelite® and glass.

Quality inside and out. a cut above the rest. our light switching systems. Our switching systems made of porcelain and Bakelite® have been developed by our in-house specialists. They are produced in Thuringia (porcelain covers and central inserts), in Westphalia (Bakelite® covers, central inserts and switching mechanisms) and in Bavaria (glass covers). These materials even have experts taking a second look: At trade fairs we regularly see architects tapping and feeling the material to see whether it really is genuine. Which it is, of course, and not only superficially, but through and...

covers and combination options. Single, double and multiple combinations. Switches and power outlets are delivered without outside faceplates. For the inserts of the white porcelain series faceplates are available as single and double covers as well as system faceplates. Thanks to these system faceplates, various combinations of different elements (for example, a power outlet and a switch) or identical elements (for example three power outlets) can be combined and mounted. All porcelain switches and power outlets can be combined with one another. The only exception are data and telephone...

from nuisance to pleasure: the porcelain switch system From the beginning of the electrical age and several decades to follow, the porcelain and ceramics industry was the most important provider of electrical technology: Casings, switch pieces and housings were made from this attractive material that, apart from its aesthetic qualities, has tangible technical benefits: it insulates and is extremely tough. It is hard to understand why today’s porcelain material for electrical switch systems can generally only be found in industrial use. This fact can only be explained by the dominant...

the black Bakelite® switch system the second switch system: black and Bakelite®. Porcelain and Bakelite® coexisted harmoniously for many years, and both switch colours, white porcelain and black Bakelite®, were equally popular. The synthetic resin Bakelite® was found to be an ideal material for electro-technical applications: its stability was unmatched and its temperature resistance and insulation were tremendous.
