Its standout feature is the elegant polished mirror chrome finish paired with a classic stepped-edge design, providing a refined, sophisticated appearance for any interior space.

FAQs

Does this socket include mounting screws?

Yes, the unit comes with color-matched screws for installation.

Is this socket compatible with standard UK back boxes?

Yes, it is designed for a standard 2-gang UK wall back box.

Can I use abrasive cleaners to polish the chrome?

No, do not use abrasive cleaners as they will scratch and ruin the polished mirror finish.

What is the amperage rating of this socket?

This is a standard 13A double socket.

Does the socket require an earth connection?

Yes, as with all metal-faced electrical accessories, it must be properly earthed by a qualified electrician.

Can I paint over the chrome finish?

It is not recommended, as painting will void the aesthetic design and may interfere with the functionality of the rocker switches.

Troubleshooting

Socket feels loose in the wall

Ensure the mounting screws are tightened evenly against the back box; if the back box is recessed too deeply, use mounting spacers.

Switch feels gritty or stuck

Check that the socket plate is not bowed due to over-tightening of screws; loosen screws slightly to allow the plate to sit flush.

Visible smudges on the chrome

Gently buff the surface with a clean, dry microfibre cloth to restore the mirror finish.

Pros and Cons

  • High-quality mirror chrome finish
  • Standard 2-gang compatibility for easy replacement
  • Sturdy construction for reliable power delivery

Cons

  • Mirror finish is prone to showing fingerprints and smudges
  • Requires regular polishing to maintain shine

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician to ensure all local building and safety regulations are met. The unit is designed to replace standard UK 2-gang back boxes.

Compatibility: This product is a standard 2-gang wall socket (dual plug). It is compatible with all standard UK plug types and existing wall-mounted electrical back boxes.

Care Instructions: To keep the mirror chrome finish looking its best, use only a soft, dry microfibre cloth for routine dusting. If the surface becomes stained, use a damp cloth followed immediately by a dry one. Never use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals, as these will scratch the polished surface and permanently damage the finish.
