Screwgard Color Templates & Installation Guide
These Color Templates are designed to fit behind your clear glass switch plate and in front of the Screwgard gasket, eliminating the need to paint the back of the glass.
⚠️ Important: You must use a Screwgard Paintable Gasket when using Color Templates.
Step 1: Remove Protective Film
Peel off the blue plastic film from the gasket. This protects the paintable surface before use.
Step 2: Paint the Gasket (Optional)
- Use spray paint with light, even coats, allowing drying time between coats
- Or brush on latex paint for easier control
- Apply multiple light coats for best results
Step 3: Let Paint Dry Completely
Ensure the gasket is fully dry before installation.
Step 4: Position the Gasket
Place the painted side of the Screwgard gasket behind the glass plate so the color shows through.
✔️ No need to paint the glass itself.
Using Color Templates (No Painting Required)
If you prefer not to paint:
- Use our Color Templates—precision-cut colored cardstock inserts
- Designed to match your exact switch plate configuration
- Simply place the template behind the glass and in front of the gasket
✔️ Fast, clean, and mess-free alternative to painting

Layer the components in this order:
Option 1 (Painted Gasket):

Option 2 (Color Template):
Glass Plate → Color Template → Screwgard Gasket
Then:
- Align with the electrical receptacle
