Kitchen Island Socket Outlets

[Strima]

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!!!

Sync box on the side Syncbox is the World's Only Hidden Socket System. - https://www.sync-box.com/

Cheers mate. I don't think this'll suit what I need but I'll keep these in mind for other jobs, I do like the AV and data options they have.

The only thing IP rated is a recessed masterseal

What's wrong with a load of Mastic???

Kitchen is costing me £20k so far, I'm not going to bodge it by doing something stupid.

Worktops are going to be granite so minimal cutting would be best hence my logic of using pop up socket outlets.

Anyone used Knightsbridge stuff before?

would a pop up give enough IP protection you need?

A pop up would be better, a recessed socket would allow any material to settle into it whereas a pop up would have material fall past the conductive parts if you catch my drift...

Put the sockets inside the floor units, don't wanna ruin the lines of that granite. Its only for the food mixer at the end of the day. Those syncx boxes are quite good, but expensive for what they are IMO
