Description
Copper has a warmth that chrome and white plastic never quite manage, and this is the plate we point people to when a power point needs to look considered rather than tolerated. The face is screwless, so it clips over the frame and leaves a clean copper front with nothing to interrupt it. Behind it sits a chrome insert with a rocker switch, a small bright contrast against the copper, and it is rated at 13A for ordinary household use.
One gang suits the spots where a double would be more than the wall needs: beside a bed, on a landing, in an alcove behind a table lamp, or at the end of a kitchen run where the kettle sits on its own. We reach for copper in warmer schemes, alongside oak, brass taps, painted timber and deeper wall colours, where a white plate tends to fall flat. It earns its place in home offices too, keeping a desk lamp or a charger switchable without reaching behind furniture.
The plate is moulded ABS with a copper finish and a compact square footprint, which keeps the weight low and shrugs off the odd knock better than you might expect. Cleaning is simple: a dry or barely damp cloth across the face, then dried off, and keep bathroom sprays, cream cleaners and anything gritty away from it, since polishes will dull the finish over time. Dry indoor rooms and a normal household supply are what it is for. It carries a ten year warranty. Where a wall ends up carrying more than one plate, we find copper looks best kept consistent along the whole run rather than paired with a stray white one.

Frequently Asked
What size is the plate?
It measures 88mm square, with a 25mm depth behind the face.
Is the socket switched?
Yes, it has a rocker switch on the chrome insert, so you can isolate whatever is plugged in without unplugging it.
What current is it rated for?
13A, the standard rating for UK household power points.
What is the plate made from?
Moulded ABS with a copper finish and a chrome insert, so it stays light without feeling flimsy.
Will the copper finish tarnish if I polish it?
Metal polishes and abrasive creams will take the sheen off, so stick to a soft dry cloth and it will hold its colour.
Is it suitable for a bathroom or outbuilding?
No. It is intended for dry indoor rooms on a domestic supply, away from damp and splashing.
