How do I install a flush mount socket?
A flush-mount socket is designed to be installed inside a flush-mounting box recessed into the wall. The electrical wiring is concealed inside this flush-mounting box, which is why it is called a flush-mount socket. Here are examples of a single flush-mounting box and a double flush-mounting box.
To install a socket, you first need to fit a flush-mounting box that provides sufficient space for the electrical connections. The box should be recessed into the plaster so that its front edge is perfectly flush with the finished wall surface.
All zangra flush-mount sockets are supplied with a standard flush-mounting box.
The story behind zangra's porcelain
Soon after being established in 2009, zangra started to successfully cooperate with different porcelain factories all over the world – a cooperation that continues to this day. In recent years, zangra has spent a lot of time in world’s most famous porcelain cities. From Limoges in France to Jingdezhen in China, zangra was able to work at legendary porcelain factories. So in cooperation with the staff zangra created new models and rediscovered old forgotten molds. A number of old molds were put back in production making new pieces. zangra’s porcelain is still produced by hand, piece by piece. This makes each piece unique. zangra's work proved successful with their products being sold all over the world.
