Description
The Knightsbridge 13A 1-gang DP switched socket features an ultra-low profile flat plate in a pearl finish with a white insert and matching metal rocker. The plate projects just 2.5mm from the wall, making it one of the lowest-profile sockets available for residential and commercial installation. The double-pole switching isolates both live and neutral lines when turned off, providing additional safety over single-pole switching.
Designed for living rooms, bedrooms, home offices and hospitality settings where minimal visual interruption is required, the flat plate design sits nearly flush with the wall and the built-in gasket ensures a tight seal against the mounting surface. The 13A rating handles standard UK appliance loads up to 2,990W per outlet. The socket fits a standard 25mm minimum back box depth, making it compatible with most UK electrical installations.
The pearl finish is a soft metallic grey-white tone that sits between polished chrome and brushed stainless steel, providing a neutral accent that pairs with both cool and warm interior palettes. The white insert behind the socket aperture keeps the look understated when a plug is fitted, allowing the pearl faceplate to remain the visual focus. The premium-grade steel construction and 25-year warranty reflect Knightsbridge's positioning as a long-term specification product for both trade and residential buyers.

Frequently Asked
What back box depth is required?
A 25mm minimum back box depth is needed for safe installation. The ultra-low 2.5mm projection means the finished socket sits nearly flush with the wall surface once fitted.
What is the pearl finish?
Pearl is a soft metallic grey-white tone that sits between polished chrome and brushed stainless steel. It provides a neutral accent that works with both cool and warm interior colour schemes without the high reflectivity of polished chrome.
Is the flat plate removable for redecorating?
The flat plate is fixed directly to the back box with terminal screws. Unlike screwless variants, the faceplate cannot be removed without disconnecting the wiring. For redecorating around the socket, masking tape is typically used to protect the plate edges during painting.
What other finishes are available in this range?
Knightsbridge produces the ultra-flat plate style in a range of finishes including polished chrome, brushed chrome, matt black, white and antique brass. Use the search function or filters to find other variants in stock at Niori.
