Vimar Idea Classica Cover Plate, 1-Module or 2-Reduced-Module, Die-Cast Metal

Overview

The Vimar Idea 17092 Classica Cover Plate is a Classica cover frame for Vimar Idea switch positions that take 1 module or 2 reduced modules. It can be mounted horizontally or vertically, measures 88 x 80 mm, and sits at about 9 mm deep depending on the variant.

This range is mainly about finish, but not every version uses the same base material. Most variants use die-cast metal, while the walnut and wengue options are solid wood. On board, that makes it easier to match the plate to nearby trim, switch banks, and cabin joinery instead of treating every finish as the same part with a different color.

As a cover frame, it carries an IP00 rating, so it belongs in interior spaces that stay dry rather than areas exposed to spray or washdowns. It is the sort of trim piece used to give a finished edge to an installed switch or control point, not a sealed exterior component by itself.

Key features

• Fits 1 standard module or 2 reduced modules in the Vimar Idea format.
• Can be installed in either a horizontal or vertical orientation.
• Face size is 88 x 80 mm, with depth around 9 mm depending on the selected variant.
• Uses clamp mounting and includes a mounting grid.
• Suitable for built-in installation, wall duct applications, and subfloor installation duct boxes.
• Range includes multiple metal finishes plus solid wood walnut and wengue options.
• Halogen-free cover frame with IP00 protection, intended for enclosed interior assemblies.

Variants

This range changes mainly by finish, and in two cases by material. Verified options include matt gold, antique brass, metallized bronze, metallized silver, black chrome, metallized titanium, white, ivory, slate gray, chrome, polished gold, walnut, wengue, brushed nickel, and black.

Across the range, the common format is the same Classica plate for 1 module or 2 reduced modules, with horizontal or vertical mounting. Material and depth are not uniform across every variant, so those points should be checked at variant level when matching an existing installation or nearby trim.

Compatibility and fit

This cover plate suits Vimar Idea switch positions used in cabins, heads, galleys, and other interior areas where the electrical hardware already follows the Idea format. The layout behind the plate is the main fit point, since the opening is arranged for one full module or two reduced modules.

For refit work, it is useful when replacing a worn plate or when bringing several switch points into the same visual style. The combination of horizontal or vertical mounting and the compact 88 x 80 mm face helps when space around the switch bank is limited.

Installation and onboard use

On a boat, this kind of plate is most at home in accommodation spaces and enclosed service areas where the switch gear sits behind paneling or joinery. It is a practical match for interior lighting controls, cabin service switches, or other protected switching points that need a clean finished face.

Because the plate itself is not sealed, it is less suited to an exposed helm, cockpit coaming, or any position that sees direct weather. The better fit is for interiors where appearance, trim matching, and a tidy switch surround matter as much as the electrical layout behind it.

Many products sold by Apollo Lighting include a manufacturer's warranty covering defects in materials or workmanship. Warranty terms vary by brand, product category, and model, so eligibility, coverage duration, exclusions, and available remedies are determined by the applicable manufacturer. We recommend reviewing the warranty information provided with your product before installation or use, especially for marine electronics, navigation equipment, lighting, electrical systems, pumps, safety equipment, and other specialized marine products.

If you need warranty service, the claim must follow the process established by the manufacturer, authorized service center, or designated warranty provider. You may be asked for proof of purchase, a serial number, product registration, photos, maintenance or installation records, or other documentation. Apollo Lighting does not determine or modify a manufacturer's warranty coverage or final claim decision, but we are happy to help provide purchase information and direct you to the appropriate manufacturer or warranty resource.

Keep your receipt, product documentation, serial number information, and original packaging when practical. Damage caused by normal wear, misuse, improper installation, insufficient maintenance, corrosion, impact, unauthorized modifications, electrical issues, or operation outside the manufacturer's specifications may not be covered. Warranty claims are separate from standard returns, so a product that has been installed, used, or exposed to marine conditions may no longer qualify for return while still remaining eligible for evaluation under the manufacturer's applicable warranty.
