Default help with power sockets in the kitchen

Never seen stainless steel pattress boxes. You don't actually see
the pattress box as the socket covers it!


Well, if mounted to the bottom of the cupboard, then you have to use a
surface mounted pattress, which will be visible. They are widely available,
although frequently with the socket provided rather than separately. They
are particularly common in Victorian schools and light industrial premises.

See Screwfix item 14687.


I don't think this is what the OP was after. He did specifically say
"brushed stainless" which implies to me he has something like 18257 in
mind. This finish is not quite the same as the "steel" finish on 14687
as far as I can see, though it might be hidden enough by the plate not
to matter too much. The biggest problem I can think of is that boxes
such as those supplied with 14687 have conduit punch-outs all around the
sides which, if you are looking for a "high class" finish in a kitchen
(I suspect the OP is) do rather shout "factory". :-)

Hwyl!
