Our switches are designed to sit flush against the wall so any residual moisture might tarnish the finish. We do not recommend beeswax for rooms with high humidity as it is harder to maintain and may rust. We suggest matt black is a better alternative.

As beeswax is a natural finish that reacts with the underlying metal during the forging process, it often has a subtle, slightly mottled patina with undertones of deep grey or ochre. It is not waterproof, so will need to be rewaxed occasionally. For more information please read our Knowledge Base guide linked above.
