The Solid Foundation: A Sparky's Guide to Mounting Blocks

Every Aussie sparky knows the challenge: you need to install a GPO or a light switch, but you’re faced with a rough, uneven, or solid brick wall. Getting a secure, level, and professional finish is impossible without the right base. The solution is the humble but essential mounting block—the solid foundation for any electrical or data fitting.

At SCHNAP, our comprehensive range of Mounting Blocks covers everything from standard residential fit-outs to heavy-duty industrial jobs, ensuring you get a clean, reliable, and compliant finish every time.

The Right Block for Any Wall

Choosing the right type of block is key to a fast and professional installation.

• Surface Mount Blocks: The ultimate problem-solver and the go-to for countless jobs. A surface mount block is perfect for installing GPOs and switches on solid surfaces like brick, concrete, or tiled walls. They are the workhorse for sheds, workshops, garages, and commercial retrofits where chasing the wall isn't an option.
• Flush & Recessed Solutions: For achieving that perfectly schmick, integrated look on uneven plaster or panelled walls. A recessed mounting block or flange sits behind the wall sheet, providing a solid, level fixing point for your outlet, ensuring it doesn't pull away or sit crooked.

Built Tough for Aussie Conditions

Our mounting blocks are engineered to last, no matter where you install them.

• Heavy-Duty Options: For workshops, factories, or high-impact areas, our heavy-duty blocks can take a beating and keep your fittings secure.
• Durable, UV-Stabilised Materials: An absolute must for any outdoor installation. Our UV-stabilised mounting blocks are designed to withstand the harsh Aussie sun without going brittle or yellowing over time, making them the perfect partner for weatherproof outlets.

A Solution for Every Outlet

Our range isn't just for power. We stock a wide variety of sizes, colours, and depths to provide a solid base for:
