Vimar Idea Classica Cover Plate, 1-Module or 2-Reduced-Module, Clamp Mounting

Overview

The Vimar Idea 17097 Classica Cover Plate is a 1-module or 2-reduced-module cover plate for Vimar Idea wiring devices, with clamp mounting, horizontal or vertical orientation, and an 88 x 80 x 9 mm face. It includes a mounting grid and a label space, which makes it a practical choice where you want a clean finish around a switch, outlet, or control point without adding bulk to the panel.

This family uses halogen-free thermoplastic construction and is offered in both technopolymer/plastic and Silk finishes, depending on the variant. The plastic versions have a glossy surface, while the Silk versions use a matt lacquered finish. Protection is IP00, so this plate belongs in protected interior locations rather than anywhere exposed to spray, washdowns, or open weather.

On board, it fits best in cabin, saloon, berth, or enclosed helm installations where the Vimar Idea format is already in use. It also works with built-in installation, wall duct runs, and subfloor installation duct boxes where that layout is part of the electrical fit-out.

Key features

• Fits the Vimar Idea format for 1 module or 2 reduced modules
• Clamp mounting with mounting grid included
• Can be installed horizontally or vertically
• 88 x 80 x 9 mm profile for a compact finished look
• Halogen-free thermoplastic body
• Built-in label space for circuit or device identification
• Suitable for built-in installation, wall ducts, and subfloor installation duct boxes
• IP00 rating for protected interior mounting points

Variants

This range changes by visible finish and color rather than by product type. The available options in this family include Bright White, Idea White, Black, and Graphite Grey, with technopolymer/plastic versions and Silk versions in selected colors.

Across the range, the format stays focused on the same Vimar Idea Classica 1-module or 2-reduced-module layout. That lets you match the plate to the surrounding interior trim while keeping the same basic fit, mounting method, and use within the Idea system.

Compatibility and fit

This cover plate is made for Vimar Idea domestic switching devices in the 1-module or 2-reduced-module format. It suits installations where the device layout is already based on the Idea series and where the plate needs to sit neatly over a built-in point, duct-mounted point, or similar interior electrical position.

Because it supports both horizontal and vertical mounting, it works in tighter spaces where switch orientation matters. That can be useful on a boat where panel space is often limited and neighboring controls, trim pieces, or furniture edges affect how the finished installation needs to sit.

Installation and location

The IP00 rating matters here. This is a trim and finishing component for protected interior spaces, not a sealing part for exposed deck areas or wet compartments. In a marine setting, it makes the most sense anywhere the electrical devices are shielded from direct water contact and routine washdowns.

It is a good match for boat owners, refit yards, and installers working with Vimar Idea components who need the correct cover plate format and want to keep the finish consistent across the cabin or helm interior.

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.
