Review on πŸ”Œ TradeGear Double Gang 10Pack Wall Plate Insulation Gasket: Weatherproof Polyethylene Foam for 2-Gang Switches – No Adhesive Required. Ideal for Light Switches, Decor, and GFCI Outlets – Multiple Cut-Outs Provided! by Kevin Silver

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Basically everything is fine, but ONE feature spoils the overall impression

Like many other wall insulations, they are modular for almost every conceivable configuration. Is there a switch next to the outlet? Yes. Change and change? Yes. Etc etc. But even among the customizable wall panel insulation, which are notoriously finicky about cutting EXACTLY what you want, they're a bit flimsy. Would you like to "flip" the switch gently? Too bad the whole bell seam is trying its best to fall apart with it. But you can forgive that. A slightly firmer and gentler hand than with other insulating boards should help you with this. No, the BIGGEST problem is the weak seam in the middle. Of the 10 in the pack, 4 were already split down the middle before coming out. Three others split when removed. Of the remaining three that came out of the box intact, only one lasted long enough to fit under the wall panel. The other two parted while I tried to hammer out the right configuration. (see photo - last two in the bag, one has already fallen apart, the bottom one was still intact until I pulled it out) My god I don't understand why a set of double wall insulation has a seam down the middle, especially a seam , which pops up as soon as you look at him. A double band is narrower than two single bands. So if you separate it, it won't be enough to isolate the single tape because it won't fit perfectly in the hole you want to close. They could be passed if they weren't willing to split down the middle, so you could actually cover a double gang with a piece of insulation. Better look elsewhere.

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • There are nuances
