Socket beads
Single socket bead
Create a clean, reinforced opening around a standard single socket or light switch.
For electricians
Keep openings visible, connections protected and second fix cleaner.
PC Products beads are designed around the awkward gap between electrical first fix and wet trades. They cover the opening, keep the position obvious and give the plasterer a proper edge to work to.
Where it helps
Less time lost between first and second fix
Common frustrations
- Cables disappearing behind a newly plastered ceiling
- Plaster contaminating back boxes and connections
- Ragged openings that need making good before a faceplate sits correctly
- Extra visits caused by unclear positions or damaged cutouts
How the beads help
- Retrieve, terminate and secure connections before the finishing trades arrive
- Help separate properly enclosed connections from wet plaster while providing a defined opening
- Return to a visible position with a clean edge ready for the accessory
- Use the box template and square-to-round adapter on compatible installations
