brushed steel sockets - help!

hi everyone I wanted to see if anyone has come across sockets that are brushed steel and grey but don't have the three holes (see pic) I'm ideally after brushed steel with the upside down T in grey. I've included an example of what I'm talking about with the black upside down T. If anyone has come across these please please let me know :)

Hindsight is a wonderful thing, we decided to get all woodwork glossed and decided that ss or brushed steel etc would look to dull and therfore chose polished chrome to fit in with the whole shiny/ glossy scheme but I don't think it's worth the effort of cleaning. SS also leaves marks but I've found that finishing it off with baby oil and more recently dishwasher rinse aid detergent (finish) once all the water is dried gets rid of finger marks and leaves it smelling nice and fresh (better than oil)

In son’s house he had MK. Recommended by the electrician and he has been pleased with them. They were only white but I presume they’ll do colour choices too. To be honest in the whole of the renovation of his house (and it was gutted and unliveable when he purchased it) light sockets were the only thing he really insisted on choosing. Everything else he asked me or dad. Weird lad ;-))

We are having a mixture. Brushed steel in the kitchen to go with the appliances, as they are quite visible at worktop height or in the sides of the island. White flat plate in the hall and drawing room. White plastic upstairs. I agree that it’s better to get white plastic from a reputable supplier which won’t go wrong, than a cheap metal socket or switch which looks the part but will give up within a year, or be a nightmare to fit. Also bear in mind the flat plate ones require a deeper back box (35mm) so if you already have standard 25mm ones you won’t have the flat plate option.

Mine are all white. Definitely cheaper. To be honest a lot of sockets can be out of view anyway apart from the kitchen. There are some that are hidden within worktops or cupboards but I would imagine they are pricier.

Hi Asifa, I've come across those sites but sadly not what I am looking for. I'm not a fan of the three hole plugs but can't seem to find the (silver/black example) in all grey.

Have you seen these? It’s the closest to what you’re looking for that I could find. It’s satin chrome though. https://www.electricalcounter.co.uk/products/Switches+&+Sockets/Selectric+5MPLUS+Screwless/Satin+Chrome

We have MK elements in metallic brushed steel. I think you can have with or without the USB bit as shown in this link. If you link through to the product spec pdf from my link below, you can see they have lots of styles and colour combinations.

Hi, my bad, I read the question wrong. I can't seem to find the grey t-shaped inserts you are after, however, Screwfix have some sockets with a slate grey insert as opposed to black.

Why not take socket apart and paint/spray the desired area grey.

Something I could do for you if you'd like.
