I was informed that outlet and switch covers are required to have a fireproof backing, 18gauge aluminum meets the standards.

I ordered some small sheets of aluminum from Amazon and some Aluminum Cutter blades, #3 and #5 from Mikes Workshop.

The blades got here yesterday, the aluminum today, So I did a test pattern:

    Wich, is that because they are made of wood? The plastic wall plates sold everywhere don't have that....but maybe they are fire resistant (?).

    Fred, yes it's the wood. In days of yore, plates of steel were available, but not enough sold, so this is my fix to be code compliant.
