I`ve been using this wallplate for a few months now and it still looks brand new .Thanks to my knowledge gained in practice I can say that it's made of high-quality materials that can withstand heavy usage. It's very easy to install and provides a good indication of receptacle status. Industrial and Scientific facilities really need these kind of tough wallplates! The only downside to this product is the price, it's a bit higher than other wallplates on the market, but it is worth every penny..
