S-Box Pop-Up Sockets
The S-Box 'Chameleon' pop-up sockets allow you to have your power sockets in the heart of your work surface, without interrupting the aesthetic appeal of the space itself. With a press of a finger, the solid steel box rises out of the stone worktop, using no motors, springs, or gas struts, and can be easily camouflaged when not in use.
The S-Box is used by designers in over 70 countries around the world, and is the latest step in innovative technological kitchen design. The product itself has passed the 1/2 gallon Countertop Spill and Splash Tests and has been signed off to be used in wet areas, making them a suitable choice for even the busiest of kitchens.
How Does the S-Box Work?
Sitting on a rebate 20mm below the worktop surface, and using a 10-12mm piece of the stone material on top, the box can be completely concealed within your counter. It has a 'press and lift' action and rises automatically after being pressed down. The lifting mechanism uses zero energy and can adjust itself for different weights.
What Material Worktop Can a Pop-Up Socket Be Used With?
The S-Box is compatible with any of our materials, including quartz, granite, porcelain, and marble! It is an adaptable product that also allows for interior design freedom.

Which USB Power Level Do I Need?
The standard USB socket is ideal for phones and small devices and will charge small tablets at a slower rate. For larger devices such as larger tablets and laptops, the High Power USB is recommended.
What are the benefits of a Pop-Up Socket?
Having a pop-up plug socket in the heart of your home provides a number of benefits, not only to your household's productivity but to the aesthetic appeal of your kitchen. With an S Box, your countertop outlet is hidden beneath the surface of the stone, until you need to use it, keeping your workspace clean and clear. The innovative technology that allows it to lift from the kitchen surface at the press of a button, makes accessing your plug sockets easy and hassle-free.
The appeal of an S Box pop-up power socket also lies in the range of options that are available. You can choose to have 2 or 3 sockets included within the bank itself, with options including USB ports. This personalisation is a great feature to ensure your pop-up socket is tailored for your home and to your family.
How to clean a pop-up socket:
S-Box sockets are easy to maintain with proper care. The top surface will be the same as your worktop, so best cleaning practices will be dependent on the material you choose. The unit itself can be cleaned using a dry cloth and spray, to prevent dust gathering
Is There a Warranty on the S-Box?
Yes. If your pop-up socket box has been fitted by a professional electrician, the warranty will cover your outlet for 5 years.
To be eligible for a replacement should you need it, under warranty, you will need to provide S-Box with receipts/invoice, and proof of the date of installation and that it was carried out by a professional.
