Kitchen Island Socket Outlets

Strima · Dec 31, 2017

I don't do a lot of domestic however SWMBO has decided she wants the kitchen sorting out next year.

Part of the design is for a kitchen island and I'm looking at options for socket outlets. I don't really want any sockets at the end of units as the risk of kids snagging the cables etc are pretty high.

Anyone got any recommendations for pop up units, bearing in mind that this area will only be used for food prep so basically hand blenders and the like will be run from it.

Something with a decent IP rating as I don't want to be cleaning crumbs out of it every week!!!

I would avoid pop up units ...................

And if you choose to locate them on the units don't fit them so high that USB adaptors or chargers can't fit.

I would go for a backflip socket rather than a pop up.

I thought that you guys didn't like the pop-up sockets, as they are rubbish.

I've done a few island units with sockets. Installed some on the ends, using a Click CMA091 spacer pattress (only suitable for one cable) or MK K2133. Installed some inside the units (much 'cos customers feared the same with kids). Removed a few 'pop ups'.

Didn't know about those back flip things, although I hope they have a suitable IP rating, after last nights incident with a tumbler of sherry. Ever seen a grown man, licking a work top clean, with his tongue

Have to be a bit careful doing that this time of the, could get stuck.

If anyone has any better options then I'm all ears, except for my toes, their still my toes...
