Description
Teal is not a colour you see often on a power point, and that is rather the point of this one. The plate is moulded in a bright teal with chrome rockers and chrome pin surrounds, and the screwless front clips over its own frame so no screw heads break up the face. Two switched sockets sit side by side, each rated 13A with its own rocker, so one appliance can be isolated without anything being unplugged. The plate is a long one, which gives it a low, horizontal look against the wall.
We reach for coloured plates in rooms where the walls are already doing something: a painted kitchen, a study with dark joinery, a child's bedroom, a utility run where plain white would look like an afterthought. The chrome picks up tap ware and door furniture, while the teal reads bright against pale plaster and quieter against deeper colours. It works equally well at worktop level, at desk height or beside a bed. This is one for indoor rooms on an ordinary household supply, kept clear of splashing water, so kitchens and living spaces yes, shower rooms no.
The plate is moulded polycarbonate with a gloss face, light in the hand and tough enough for a spot that gets knocked by chair backs and vacuum heads. The chrome inserts are the only contrast, and we like that restraint on something this size. For cleaning, a dry or barely damp cloth is all it wants; keep kitchen sprays and cream cleaners away from it, as they will dull the gloss and can mark the chrome. It carries a ten year warranty. We sell it on its own rather than as part of a wider group of finishes, so it pairs happily with plain white or metal plates elsewhere in the room, letting the teal land only where you want it noticed.

Frequently Asked
How big is the plate?
It measures 146mm long by 88mm high, with a projection of 25mm from the wall face.
Are both sockets switched?
Yes. Each of the two 13A sockets has its own rocker switch, so you can isolate one side and leave the other live.
What is the plate made from?
Moulded polycarbonate in bright teal, with chrome inserts and chrome rockers. It weighs 0.16kg.
How should I clean it?
Wipe with a dry or very slightly damp cloth. Avoid solvents, kitchen degreasers and abrasive creams, which will take the shine off the teal and can dull the chrome.
Is it suitable for a bathroom or outdoors?
No. It is rated for dry indoor rooms only and should not be used where it may be splashed or exposed to weather.
Is there a warranty?
It carries a ten year warranty.
