Description
Two services on one flat front: a telephone point and a coaxial television socket, sitting side by side behind a screwless platinum silver plate. Screwless means the face shows no fixing screws, so what you see is a clean square of silver broken only by the two apertures. The plate is the familiar double size at 88mm square, which keeps it in proportion with other switch and socket plates along the same wall rather than sprawling across it.
We would choose this where the aerial feed and the phone line arrive at the same point, which in most homes is behind the television or at the end of a run of shelving. It suits a sitting room where you would rather not see two separate plates competing for space, and it works just as well beside a desk in a home office or on a bedroom wall. It handles low voltage signal work indoors, on data and aerial circuits, so it belongs in dry rooms rather than a garage or a porch.
The moulding is polycarbonate, a tough plastic that takes the platinum silver finish evenly and holds it without flaking at the edges of the apertures. Keep it looking right with a dry cloth run over the face now and then; if fingermarks build up, a cloth wrung out in plain water will lift them, while cream cleaners and solvents will dull the surface for good. It carries a ten year warranty. Silver plates such as this one sit comfortably in rooms with brushed metal door furniture or grey and cool-toned decoration, where a white plate would look like an afterthought. We stock it as a straight replacement for anyone tidying up a wall that has grown a plate at a time over the years.
