The frame must match the module width and enclosure range of the consumer unit being fitted. This collection is intended for compatible WME metal enclosures, so the key decision is selecting the right frame size for the board you’re installing.
Flush Mounted Consumer Units vs Surface Mounting
A flush mounted consumer unit usually gives a cleaner visual result than a fully surface-mounted board, especially in finished living spaces or visible utility areas. Surface mounting may still be the practical option in some situations, but flush mounting is often preferred where wall depth and project setup allow it.
