Switches and Sockets – Style and Function

Variously described as 'wall furniture', 'electrical accessories' or just plain 'switches and sockets, there is no need to 'spoil the look of great wallpaper or home decoration with plain white sockets (although these can look great too - in the right location)

It is now possible to match or hide (in the case of 'invisible' options), switches and sockets.

Why have expensive wallpaper or wood panelling and then spoil the effect with a white socket?

Sockets can be discreet or a beautiful addition to a room giving a feeling of quality and luxury.

What is a Room Thermostat?

A room thermostat simply switches the heating system on and off as necessary. It works by sensing the air temperature, switching on the heating when the air temperature falls below the thermostat setting, and switching it off once this set temperature has been reached. Turning a Room Thermostat up will not heat the room quicker Turning a room thermostat to a higher setting will not make the room heat up any faster.

Tubular Heaters from Thermotube

Thermotube tubular heaters are rustproof and when sealed are more resistant to damp. By applying a silicone sealing compound around the sealing shoulder of the terminal cover, the rivets and the sealing edge of the end cap allows the use of thermotubes in certain horticultural applications such as greenhouses and garden frames along with use in many industrial applications. Thermotubes are not suitable for soil heating, if covered with soil they may overheat and eventually corrode. Thermotubes are particularly easy to install either singly or in banks, although it is essential to observe a few precautions when installing for use under severe conditions. To maintain economy of operation thermostatic or timed control is essential and is often desirable in other applications.
