Appearance, Function and Applications

Non-Isolated Vs Isolated Co-axial TV Sockets
The most common and traditional TV socket is the non-isolated co-axial socket, there is probably a non-isolated version in your home too. The non-isolated coax is also used for satellite installation. Satellite boxes need to have a 2 way signal to allow the sending and receiveing of a signal, to both the TV and satellite dish.

The Isolated co-axial socket is more common in flats, apartment blocks, and work offices where a communal satellite dish or aerial is installed. The Isolated co-axial socket, allows the receiveing of a signal from the dish, but prevents a return signal, and therefore blocks interference across to the homes in the building, to ensure that everyone has a decent reception.

Antimicrobial copper works alongside routine cleaning and sanitisation procedures to reduce the spread of infection, making this range ideal for healthcare and domestic environments.
Exposure to copper destroys viruses and bacteria completely and irreversibly.
Germs die rapidly on copper, which keeps working 24/7, in between regular cleans. Our Tarnishing Antimicrobial copper range is made from solid copper so this effect won’t reduce overtime.
Normal tarnishing or wear of Antimicrobial Copper surfaces will not impair the antiviral effectiveness of the product.

..................................................
Although the Antimicrobial/Antiviral Copper range was designed to manage germs on contact, this range can also be used in properties requiring a distressed finish, as they develop a natural patina. This patina can be reset by polishing with Brasso or similar, which removes all patina effects and allows you to add a different distressed finish to your own taste. Alternatively, if you require a polished copper finish, then regular cleaning with Brasso, or a similar product, is best.
..................................................
The VARILIGHT Antimicrobial/Antiviral Copper range is made from un-lacquered and un-coated solid copper and comes complete with solid copper switch rockers to ensure maximum Antimicrobial/Antiviral efficacy and carries the Cu29 logo. Clip on faceplates remove the need for visible fixing screws, providing a flat surface to facilitate cleaning. Normal tarnishing of Antimicrobial/Antiviral copper surfaces will not impair the antibacterial effectiveness of the product.
Please Note: These products are Anti-Microbial Unlaquered Copper, therefore they tarnish as expected. If you prefer a lacquered version, look at Urban Polished copper

General Cleaning

Please follow the instructions on cleaning below, which is also shown in the instructions provided with the product. Never apply masking tape or other similar tape to the product. Avoid the use of any cleaning chemicals and always use a Gasket on freshly plastered, painted or damp walls as the plates may tarnish. (Plaster can take up to 6 months to dry out). A Gasket can be made from the packaging the product comes in, or a plastic bag can be cut to stop the plate touching the plaster. Unfortunately, if these Instructions are not followed, and the plate is damaged, it will void the product warranty.

Cleaning and sanitisation

This product will develop a natural patina. Routine cleaning and sanitisation procedures must continue to be implemented to reduce the potential for infection and to keep the Antimicrobial/Antiviral Copper Alloy surface free of dirt and grime that could prevent contact with the surface and inhibit Antimicrobial/Antiviral performance. The appropriate cleaning agent depends on the type of soiling and the measure of sanitisation required. To remain effective the surface must not be coated in any way. Do not wax, paint, lacquer, varnish, or otherwise coat this product. Normal tarnishing or wear of Antimicrobial/Antiviral Copper Alloy surfaces will not impair the antibacterial effectiveness of the product. An effective cleaning agent for use on Antimicrobial/Antiviral copper product is citric acid. Apply a small amount to a polishing cloth and lightly wipe the affected area.
..................................................
This cleaning method with Citric Acid will remove bacteria build up. If you require the natural patina/tarnishing/distressed effect to be removed, this can be achieved by polishing with Brasso or similar, which will bring the product back to an original natural polished copper metal. Be sure not to use a cloth that is abrasive, unless you require a brushed effect.
