Roo Neutrals Socket

100-KPROODEC-BS-MG-06-00A

Roo Neutrals Socket

From £79.00

From a small team of makers in Bohemia come these charming round porcelain sockets. Katy Paty have perfected a special process of dyeing porcelain – the Roo Neutrals range features earthy, natural shades of greys and browns.

Our Katy Paty sockets are only available as unswitched singles and need a single European back box.

They can be installed next to each other using “chamfered” backplates, if a double socket is required. Choose “Double Unswitched” as the function below and add one of the special double back boxes, found here (for dry walls) and here (for masonry walls).

Finish: No selection	Grisea (Slate) Mocha Chlora (Moss) Livor (Sky) Cana (Stone) Lucidum (Taupe)
Function: No selection	Single Unswitched Double Unswitched Clear

SKU: 100-KPROODEC-BS-05 Categories: Brown, FB Katy Paty, Grey, Plug Socket, Retro, Socket Tag: Plug Socket Brand: Katy Paty

What you need to know

What does an electrician call this?

Where is this used in the home?

A 1-gang 2-way switch is commonly used for controlling a single light source from one or two places. A 1-gang intermediate is used as the middle switch of three, controlling a single light source (for example in a hallway).

Installation

Katy Paty switches require a bit more patience to wire up, simply because they are modelled on original designs and don’t have the modern conveniences of push-contacts and encapsulated backplates.

Just follow the step-by-step pictures below or go to our Katy Paty switch installation page. Don’t forget you need a European round box for this product!

Please refer to our Installation section for more installation advice, manuals and helpful videos.

The craft

The outer parts of this switch are made from 100% industrial grade Bohemian porcelain, using quality Kaolin. Katy Paty have developed a unique method of enamel dyeing, which makes these the only porcelain switches available in such a wide range of colours. Firing at high temperatures ensures consistently vibrant hues and UV resistance.

Probably the most durable material of our products, the enamel is dust-proof, scratch-proof, heat-resistant and doesn't stain. In fact, Katy Paty offer a 50 year warranty on all their frames, such is their confidence in their product! Have a look why...

The detail

The form of this switch is circles within circles, undulating rounds of carefully sculptured porcelain create spiralled surfaces for light to dance on – these switches sparkle. The steel screws on the face of the switch are perfectly placed to create symmetry and framing for the rocker, which adds to the classic feel. The porcelain is glossy (although a matt range is coming soon), homely and tactile, and the switch mechanism delivers a satisfying ‘chink’ as you press the rocker to illuminate your room.

Katy Paty's switches are hand-made artisan products, so you might find slight imperfections and colour variations. But that just adds to the quirky luxury of having these pieces on your walls.
