General


The lids in Belgium are typically made of metal and are square , rectangular or round

Colored or gilded lids have not been found in Belgium. Sometimes part of the lid was painted (usually blue in the case of water lids), but this was done after the lid was made, locally

City symbols do not appear on the lids, and the lid background usually consists of geometric shapes such as squares, diamonds and lines.

There are several lids in the electrical sector, on which symbols of electric current , grounding and more appear.

Often, text appears on the lids in two languages, such as the gas lid, which has the word gas in French and Dutch

Manufacturers
The manufacturers are local, such as Fondatel-lecomte , Hermelock and others.
Alongside them, there are lids from international manufacturers, such as Norinco , AVK Group , ej Group and others.
