What Is a Grid Switch System? MiniGrid vs GridPro Explained

A grid switch system is a modular wiring solution that allows you to build a custom switch layout using interchangeable modules and front plates. Popular among electricians and installers, grid systems let you combine switches, dimmers, fused spurs, indicators and key switches into one plate. Two of the UK’s leading systems are Click MiniGrid and Click GridPro, offering flexibility for domestic and commercial projects.


What Is a Grid Switch System?

A grid switch system is made up of two essential parts:

  • Modules – functional units such as dimmers, switches, fused spurs, isolators or indicators.

  • Front Plates – durable frames available in different gang sizes to hold the modules.

This flexibility makes grid systems a popular choice for custom wiring projects where standard switch plates don’t provide enough options.

Both systems are manufactured by Scolmore and are designed for professional use:

  • Click MiniGrid – a compact, reliable system perfect for everyday residential and light commercial applications. Supports up to 6-gang plates with modules such as dimmers, switch modules and fused spurs.
