What is Gira System 55?
Gira System 55 was introduced in 1985 and has since established itself as a standard in the German electrical installation market. The name derives from the uniform 55 mm grid dimension: all inserts follow this measurement, enabling free combination of all components within the programme. Switches, sockets, dimmers, pushbuttons and a wide range of function inserts are all designed to work together seamlessly.
The programme is aimed at electricians and planners looking for a consistent, durable and norm-compliant solution for residential and commercial projects. Thanks to broad availability and long product lifecycles, System 55 is also well suited to extensions and retrofits in existing installations.
Finishes & colours
Gira System 55 is available in a wide range of colours and surface finishes – for consistent installations across different interior concepts:
| Finish | Typical applications |
|---|---|
| Gloss white | Living spaces, offices, standard installations |
| Matt white | Modern interiors, understated aesthetics |
| Anthracite | Commercial, industrial design, dark wall surfaces |
| Matt black | High-end residential projects, contrast applications |
| Stainless steel | Representative areas, reception zones |
| Aluminium | Industrial and technical environments |
