Description
A screwless brushed steel faceplate with a chrome insert, this double puts two switched 13A sockets and USB-A charging on a single plate. With no screw heads across the front, the face reads as a clean rectangle of metal, and the fine grain of the brushed finish hides fingerprints and daily marks far better than a mirror-polished plate manages. The USB-A ports share 15W between them, which is enough for a phone and a set of earbuds together, or one tablet given the run of it.
We stock this for the spots where a plug and a charger compete for the same place: bedsides, kitchen worktops, desks and hallway tables. Charging from the plate itself keeps a bulky adaptor out of the way and leaves both sockets free for a lamp, a kettle or a laptop supply. The rocker switches let you cut power to an appliance without pulling the plug, which suits a worktop where a toaster or a coffee machine lives permanently. It is a sensible choice for anyone bringing a room over to a modern brushed metal finish rather than white plastic.
The plate is steel over a moulded polycarbonate body, and the fitting needs an earth connection. Indoors on a household supply is where it belongs, so not a damp garage, a bathroom or anywhere outside. To keep the finish looking right, wipe it with a dry microfibre cloth working along the grain, and keep cream cleaners, bleach and solvent sprays away from both the steel and the USB openings. It carries a ten year warranty. Brushed steel sits comfortably with stainless splashbacks and appliances, and we would run one finish of plate right through a room rather than mixing metals from wall to wall.
