Overview
The Vimar Idea 17097 Classica Cover Plate is a 1-module or 2-reduced-module cover plate for Vimar Idea wiring devices, with clamp mounting, horizontal or vertical orientation, and an 88 x 80 x 9 mm face. It includes a mounting grid and a label space, which makes it a practical choice where you want a clean finish around a switch, outlet, or control point without adding bulk to the panel.
This family uses halogen-free thermoplastic construction and is offered in both technopolymer/plastic and Silk finishes, depending on the variant. The plastic versions have a glossy surface, while the Silk versions use a matt lacquered finish. Protection is IP00, so this plate belongs in protected interior locations rather than anywhere exposed to spray, washdowns, or open weather.
On board, it fits best in cabin, saloon, berth, or enclosed helm installations where the Vimar Idea format is already in use. It also works with built-in installation, wall duct runs, and subfloor installation duct boxes where that layout is part of the electrical fit-out.

Variants
This range changes by visible finish and color rather than by product type. The available options in this family include Bright White, Idea White, Black, and Graphite Grey, with technopolymer/plastic versions and Silk versions in selected colors.
Across the range, the format stays focused on the same Vimar Idea Classica 1-module or 2-reduced-module layout. That lets you match the plate to the surrounding interior trim while keeping the same basic fit, mounting method, and use within the Idea system.
Compatibility and fit
This cover plate is made for Vimar Idea domestic switching devices in the 1-module or 2-reduced-module format. It suits installations where the device layout is already based on the Idea series and where the plate needs to sit neatly over a built-in point, duct-mounted point, or similar interior electrical position.
Because it supports both horizontal and vertical mounting, it works in tighter spaces where switch orientation matters. That can be useful on a boat where panel space is often limited and neighboring controls, trim pieces, or furniture edges affect how the finished installation needs to sit.
Installation and location
The IP00 rating matters here. This is a trim and finishing component for protected interior spaces, not a sealing part for exposed deck areas or wet compartments. In a marine setting, it makes the most sense anywhere the electrical devices are shielded from direct water contact and routine washdowns.
It is a good match for boat owners, refit yards, and installers working with Vimar Idea components who need the correct cover plate format and want to keep the finish consistent across the cabin or helm interior.
