Floor sockets

[David E]

Has anyone used these sockets in polished brass or chrome. I used some other ones (not sure on the make) but when decorating covered them with masking tape which removed the satin/brushed brass finish which looks appauling now.

These are not actually for a kitchen they are for mounting in the side of the kitchen cupboards in a island unit. Is there a back box available as I think a drylining box is not the right way to fit them if the back of the box is accessible from inside the cupboard.

Thanks

Well I hope they were cheap. I've worked in places that use MK ones, they're very expensive, and I think the covers are solid stainless steel.

they were about £20 - 25 each!!!!!!!!!

For that price they should have been quite good. Was it brass plating that came off, or just the lacquer? If lacquer, they could be stripped, polished and relacquered.
