Description
A double socket in dark green, with chrome inserts breaking up the colour. The screwless plate presents a flat, unbroken face with no fixing heads on show, so the eye lands on the finish rather than the hardware. Each of the two gangs is switched by its own rocker and rated at 13A, which lets an appliance be turned off at the wall without pulling the plug out. The body is moulded polycarbonate, and the plate takes the longer horizontal format, sitting the two sockets side by side.
We reach for a coloured plate where a white one would jump out of the wall: dark green joinery in a study, a painted kitchen, a boot room, a hallway in a deep shade. It sits happily in older houses and in newer schemes built on heritage paint colours, and the chrome detail picks up chrome or nickel handles and taps elsewhere in the room. This is a socket for dry rooms indoors on an ordinary household supply, so a worktop run, a bedroom, a snug or a home office all suit it. We would not choose it for an unheated garage or an outbuilding where damp gets in.
Polycarbonate holds colour well, and the chrome inserts give the front a hard-wearing point of contrast against the green. For cleaning, run a dry cloth over the plate and around the rockers, and keep sprays and cream cleaners away from it, since solvents can dull a coloured moulding. Where a room has several power points, we would specify the same plate style throughout: screwless fronts read as a set, and a screwed plate sitting next to them shows up straight away. Switches and dimmers in the same flat, unscrewed style keep a wall consistent from door to worktop. It carries a ten year warranty.

Frequently Asked
What size is the plate?
It measures 146mm across by 88mm high, with a plate projection of 25mm from the wall face.

Moulded polycarbonate in dark green, with chrome inserts. The whole unit weighs 0.16kg.
How should I clean it?
A dry cloth is enough for dust and marks. Avoid solvents, bleach and cream cleaners, which can take the sheen off a coloured plate.
