Nickel or Brushed Steel Double Sockets

Curious Geroge

These seem to be the best deal I can find on decorative sockets. Anyone familiar with the quality or could recommend? 5 faceplates for €30 so €5each. Any other recommendations welcomed but I've been unable to see anything under €10-12each which adds up when you have 30+ sockets. Thanks for the help..

well both of those look like flat accessories. these look well, but the wall finish needs to be 100%
Thay can look very bad on a poorly finshied wall. Like my house

if you have great walls do for them, if you dont I'd avoid them.

You could have a look at the nearly flat ranges from MK but you wont get them for that price

these are good prices, dont know what the quality would be like.

i know these look a little hickey compared to the flat ones, but on tiles and most Irish walls they are more forgiving to poor plastering and tiles that are not flat.

MK do a range of nearly flat sockets, just a 2mm ridge, but they can look better. I think IMHO the industry is moving away from 100% flat plates

Sorry for digging up an old thread, but did you go ahead and order these?

Any issues with them?

I'm in the market for 90 odd (don't ask) so obviously not looking to pay the 20+ euro RRP per socket.

--EDIT:
I've actually just googled the brand 'LAP' - and it has got some poor reviews with persistent failures. Looks like a cheap brand dedicated to Screwfix.

LAP is complete and utter rubbish - it is Screwfix's own brand.

I did'nt go with them, spent the money and got premier brand. Its something you will never change so the expense is worth it.
