Scanford Twin Wooden Cherry Socket
The Scanford 4.0mm Twin W/E provides a high-specification power interface for residential and commercial infrastructure requiring a cherry wood aesthetic. This dual-gang unit utilizes a 4.0mm profile plate to minimize the protrusion from the mounting surface. Engineers specify this model for installations where natural materials must meet rigorous BS 1363 electrical safety requirements. The internal structure supports standard ring main configurations while the external housing provides a natural finish. Consequently, the hardware integrates into specialized architectural designs without compromising electrical integrity.

I was looking for something that isn’t the usual plain white plastic for my master bedroom. This cherry wooden finish looks very premium and matches my bed frame perfectly. The twin socket setup is very convenient for the bedside table to charge both my phone and laptop. Quality is top tier and it doesn’t feel like cheap plastic at all.

Good quality Scanford product. The 4.0mm plate is sturdy and the switches have a nice firm click to them. My fundi had no issues installing these in the sitting room. It gives the house a very modern look compared to the standard ones we see everywhere.

Ordered several of these for an office renovation project in Upper Hill. They look much more professional than the basic white ones and the wooden texture is quite realistic. One of the units in the box had a tiny scuff on the corner, but the rest were perfect. Great value for money for a twin socket.

The sockets work well and the build is solid, but the cherry color is a bit more reddish than I expected from the photos online. It still looks okay on my wall, but just be aware if you are trying to match a specific wood shade exactly.
