FAQs
What is the difference between brass and polished brass plug sockets?
Brass and polished brass are both materials commonly used for the plate in a plug socket. The main difference lies in their level of shine and finish. Brass plug sockets are made from solid brass, which is an alloy of copper and zinc. They have a warm, golden hue and a slightly matte or satin finish.
On the other hand, polished brass plug sockets undergo additional processing to achieve a highly reflective and shiny surface. The polishing process gives them a sleek and luxurious look, resembling gold. Polished brass sockets are often chosen for more modern and contemporary interior designs.
Brass has a more muted and vintage appeal, while polished brass offers a glossy and upscale appearance. The choice between the two ultimately depends on personal preference and the desired aesthetic in your space.
A satin brass finish is also a popular choice. Unlike highly polished brass, which has a reflective and glossy appearance, satin brass has a more subdued and matte-like finish with a soft, muted sheen.
Whichever brass finish you prefer, we will have brass switches, modules and sockets to match.
How do I look after my Polished brass sockets?
To properly care for your brass plug sockets and maintain their appearance, regular dusting is vital. Dust the surface of the brass sockets regularly with a soft cloth or feather duster to remove any loose particles and prevent build-up.
If the brass sockets begin to tarnish or lose their shine, you can use a brass polish specifically made for cleaning brass surfaces. Apply a small amount of the polish to a soft cloth and gently rub the sockets in a circular motion. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for best results.
