Description
Bright teal is a colour with some nerve, and this screwless plate wears it well against a chrome insert. It is a switched double socket rated at 13A, with USB-A charging built into the face, so a phone or a tablet can be topped up without a plug-in adaptor cluttering the wall. The charging ports share 15W between them, which suits phones, headphones and the small rechargeable odds and ends that gather on a worktop.
We would fit this where a socket is on show rather than hidden behind furniture: a kitchen worktop, a study desk, a teenager's room, or the run of sockets along a hallway console. It earns its keep beside a bed, where the rocker switches let you kill the charger overnight, and in a home office where devices charge without either socket being given up to a plug. We stock it for customers who treat their switch plates as part of the scheme, and teal is a good foil for white, pale grey and warm wood.
The plate is moulded in polycarbonate, with a screwless front that sits flush and clean-edged, and the chrome insert picks up the light around the pin apertures. It carries a ten year warranty. Colour is the thing to look after: wipe it with a cloth wrung out in warm water, dry it straight away, and keep cream cleaners, wipes and solvents well away, as they will take the gloss off. Keep it to indoor rooms on a normal household supply rather than garages, sheds or anywhere damp. If teal is too much for a whole room, we would use it on a single wall as a small piece of colour and let the rest stay quiet.

Frequently Asked
How much charging power do the USB ports give?
The two USB-A ports share 15W, so a single device gets the full output and two charging together will split it between them.
How big is the plate?
It measures 146mm wide by 85mm high, which is the usual footprint for a double plate.
Are the sockets switched?
Yes, each socket has its own rocker switch, handy for turning off a charger or an appliance without unplugging it.
What is it made from?
The body and plate are polycarbonate, finished in bright teal, with a chrome insert around the socket face.
Can I use it in a bathroom or outside?
No. It is rated IP20, so it belongs in dry indoor rooms only.
How should I clean the teal finish?
A cloth wrung out in warm water, then dried off. Avoid abrasive creams, chemical wipes and solvents, which dull the gloss.
