Screwfix – the multi-channel supplier of trade tools, accessories, and hardware – has launched a range of antimicrobial copper light switches and sockets from award-winning British manufacturer Varilight, ‘making this innovative technology available over the counter, or deliverable within 24 hours, for the first time’.
The switches are made from solid copper, combining its aesthetic appeal with ‘inherent hygienic qualities’. Copper rapidly destroys germs that can be picked up, unseen, from frequently touched surfaces. These include hospital ‘superbugs’, such as MRSA, and viruses including influenza and norovirus.
Established in 1972, electrical wiring accessory and dimmer switch manufacturer, Doyle & Tratt Products – better known by its brand name, Varilight – has twice received the Queen’s Award for Enterprise, most recently in 2016.
