Description
Two switched sockets sit side by side on a flat brushed steel plate, with no screw heads showing on the face. The brushed grain runs across the plate as a fine satin, quieter than polished chrome and less inclined to show fingermarks, while the chrome rockers and pin surrounds catch the light against it. Each half has its own rocker, so a kettle or a lamp can be switched off at the wall without being unplugged. Each socket takes the standard British three pin plug and is rated at 13A.
This is the sort of power point we reach for in kitchens, home offices and hallways, where a plain white plate tends to look unfinished. It earns its place above a worktop, behind a desk with a run of chargers on the go, or beside a bed. We would fit it in dry indoor rooms running off an ordinary household supply, and it needs an earth connection. It suits anyone updating a room in stages, as the brushed steel face reads happily alongside stainless appliances, chrome taps and darker cabinet paint.
The plate is pressed steel over a moulded polycarbonate insert that carries the pins and the switch mechanism, so the surface you touch is metal and the working parts are insulated behind it. To keep it looking right, wipe along the grain with a soft cloth, barely damp if it needs more than dusting, then dry it off; abrasive creams and solvent cleaners will dull the brushed surface, so keep them well away, and do the job with the circuit switched off. It carries a ten year warranty. Left plain like this, it is an easy thing to repeat around a room, and the flat screwless face sits neatly under a shelf or against a tiled splashback.

Frequently Asked
How big is the plate?
It measures 146mm across by 88mm tall, with a depth of 25mm at the plate, so it keeps a low profile against the wall.
Are both sockets switched?
Yes. Each of the two sockets has its own rocker switch, so you can isolate one appliance while the other stays live.
What are the sockets rated at?
13A each, which covers everyday household appliances such as kettles, toasters, televisions and chargers.
What is the insert made from?
The pins and switch mechanism sit in a moulded polycarbonate insert finished in chrome, set behind a steel plate.
Will the brushed finish mark easily?
Less than a mirror finish. The satin grain hides light fingermarks, and a soft cloth run along the direction of the grain brings it back.
Is it suitable for a bathroom or outdoors?
No. It is intended for dry indoor rooms only, so kitchens, bedrooms, offices and hallways rather than wet areas or exposed positions.
