Can anyone share experiences or views regarding the use of 13A floor sockets?
I'm planning the location of (twin) 13A sockets in my kitchen and find that there will be a long area where there is no suitable wall space for a socket.
Basically it will mean that a 4m section of wall will be without sockets. The reason being that the sink is towards one end of surface and the hob towards the other. There is a safe distance between them to allow fitment of a socket below a window sill. However the height of the worksurface under the window means that although there is just enough space to fit the socket, the cable from any plug would have to be bent at a fierce angle.
So, I was wondering if there are any reasons why I shouldn't fit a floor socket into the window sill.
I once temporarily fitted a surface mounted switched socket on the underside of a kitchen surface for a dishwasher - the switch jammed!
I presume that there are sockets specifically designed for floor mounting?
TIA
