2 Gang Double 13A Socket - Copper

Description

DescriptionCopper across the plate, chrome around the sockets, and not a screw head in sight on the front. This is a two gang switched double, rated 13A per socket, with slim rocker switches set into the face and a flat outer frame that keeps the whole thing low and quiet against the wall. The copper is warm rather than orange, and the chrome insert gives the pin holes a crisp edge. We keep this one in copper with the chrome insert, which is a quieter pairing than brass against pale walls.
We would use it in a kitchen where the taps, handles or pendant shades already carry copper, since a plain white plate tends to stop a scheme dead at the worktop. It works just as well beside a bed, behind a desk or in a hallway where a plate sits at eye level and gets noticed. Anywhere a pair of appliances needs feeding in one spot, a double saves the clutter of a trailing extension lead, and the rocker switches let you cut the power without pulling the plug.
The plate is moulded polycarbonate with the copper finish applied over it, so it stays light and shrugs off the usual knocks from vacuum cleaners and chair backs. Keep it clean with a dry cloth, or one barely damp; cream cleaners, wire wool and solvents will dull the copper and are best kept well away from it. Indoors and on a household supply is where it belongs, in dry rooms rather than a bathroom zone or an unheated outbuilding. It carries a ten year warranty. Screwless plates like this suit rooms where you would rather the eye skipped straight past the electrics, and copper reads warmest against off-white, deep green and timber.
