Gira Esprit Black Sockets
From £67.00
Classic, timeless modernism in a striking material, expressing both industry and elegance. The Esprit Metal range provides texture, colour and a multitude of design combinations, allowing you to personalise your space – in a bold way. We are particularly fond of this black aluminium finish, a luxuriously dark surface with a texture reminiscent of black leather.
Gira sockets are available with and without small isolation switches. Unswitched sockets are less common in the UK, but they are perfectly safe and compliant with building regulations.
Gira has a huge range of wiring products, functions and devices that can be combined with these frames. Contact us for information on other options if you can’t find what you’re looking for.

Installation
Gira British Standard sockets are straightforward to install. The insert is connected and screwed into the back box, the frame is placed over the insert and the cover is pushed into four slots in the insert, securing the frame. Finally the small isolating switch covers (if you are installing a switched socket) are pushed onto the switches in the insert.
Please refer to our Installation section for more installation advice, manuals and helpful videos.
