Description
A flat screwless plate in brushed steel, with chrome inserts, this gives you a switched double socket and phone charging on the same faceplate. Each half has its own rocker, and below them sit two USB-C ports that share their output, so a laptop can take the bulk of it or a couple of handsets can split it. The brushed finish is a soft grey with a fine grain, quiet against pale walls and dark ones alike, while the chrome rockers add a touch of contrast without shouting.
We fit these where cables gather and space is tight: beside a bed, along a kitchen worktop, at a desk or behind a sofa where a lamp and a laptop compete for the same 13A point. Because the charging is built in, you keep both plug positions free rather than losing one to a chunky adaptor. It suits anyone tidying up a room full of leads, and it works particularly well in a home office where a phone, a tablet and a monitor all want feeding at once. Rooms need to be dry ones indoors, on an ordinary household supply.
The moulded body is polycarbonate with a pressed steel plate over it, and the screwless construction means nothing interrupts the face of the fitting once it is closed up. Keep it looking right by wiping the plate with a dry cloth now and then, working with the grain of the brush rather than across it, and leaving polishes and sprays well away from the ports and switch throats. It carries a ten year warranty. Brushed steel is the easiest of the metal finishes to live with, since it hides fingerprints far better than polished chrome, and it sits happily alongside stainless splashbacks, oak worktops and painted joinery. We would run the same plate style across a whole room for consistency, sockets and switches together.

Frequently Asked
How much power do the USB-C ports deliver?
The two ports share 45W between them. One device on its own can draw the full amount, while two charging together will split it.
What size back box does it need?
It is designed for a back box of 35mm depth, and the plate measures 146mm by 85mm.
Are the sockets switched?
Yes, each of the two 13A sockets has its own rocker switch on the plate.
Is it suitable for a bathroom?
No. It is rated for dry indoor rooms only, so keep it out of bathrooms and away from sinks and splash zones.
Does the plate show any fixing screws?
No, the screwless design gives a clean face with no visible screwheads.
What is the finish like to keep clean?
A dry cloth wiped along the grain is enough. Avoid abrasive creams and metal polishes, which will dull the brushed surface.
