Magnetic mounting plates – highly individualised storage that sets the style, whatever the room

What are magnetic mounting plates?

Our magnetic mounting plates offer a stylish storage solution, and a modern alternative to a kitchen splashback in place of more traditional tiles.

Magnetic mounting plates are 3mm thick flat sheets of steel that are glued to a surface and onto which you can secure any number of stylish storage solutions. The steel sheets come in a variety of widths from 4cm to 15cm, 20cm, 35cm and 60cm wide, you can choose a magnetic mounting plate to suit your space and your requirements.

Where can you use magnetic mounting plates?

Our magnetic mounting plates are perfect for office storage, kitchen splashbacks and even utility rooms. The mounting plates come in Black, dark grey, anthracite and even white, meaning you can choose an accent colour to create statement, or match your wall colours or woodwork to have it blend right in. The versatility that comes from the wide range of magnetic components available means that these mounting plates can bring a useful storage element to any flat wall.

How can you use magnetic mounting plates?

Once the magnetic mounting plates are fixed or attached to the wall, you can then choose your accessories to create the ambience and style you are looking for. These accessories literally attach to the magnetic mounting plate with a magnetic strip and therefore can be placed and repositioned anywhere you choose.

Here is a video that demonstrates the magnetic mounting plates.
