6 Reasons why you Should Invest in the Sili Boys Socket & Switch Covers
Reduce Personal Waste
Painting and decorating creates huge amounts of waste within the industry every single day, and with spraying becoming more common place within the UK, the waste levels have increased immensely. One of the most common consumables is masking tape. A single use and non recyclable item being used and thrown away by painters and decorators on a daily basis.
Using our Sili Boys protective covers over sockets and switches, instead of masking tape will immediately reduce your own personal waste within the industry.
Save Time & Increase Productivity
Most tradesman work to a very time sensitive schedule and painters and decorators are no exception to this. A lot of the time being the last trade through the door the pressure is on to turn the job around.
it takes seconds to attach and remove our Sili Boys covers from the sockets and switches, proving to be much quicker than taping and untaping each one individually.
Increase productivity on site, allowing the electricians to get one step ahead by second fixings the sockets and switches, knowing they'll be fully protected by the Sili Boys covers, whilst the decoration works are carried out. Plus, no dirty finger prints on the walls after it's all painted. Win Win!

Protective
With the Sili Boys covers being made from silicone, they're far more protective compared to tape. Fully protecting from moisture, dust, paint, impacts and the accidental bump with an electric sander. You can be confident that even the most expensive electrical sockets and switches will be protected from damage.
Sustainable
Silicone rubber is not only naturally moldable, durable, and biocompatible, it is also a sustainable material. Unlike most plastics and rubbers, silicone is derived from silicon, an abundant and inorganic source material found in sand. Meaning silicone does not use non-renewable oils in production or manufacturing.
Silicone rubber also has a high material purity and is emission-free, so it can be used for sensitive applications that require no outgassing.
Silicone’s durability enables constant sterilization and reuse, making it an ideal alternative to disposable products in industries like medical and food production. Silicone products exhibit long lifespans because of its increased load-bearing capacity and UV and aging resistance compared to other plastics and rubbers.
With its reusability and clean material source, silicone is a sustainable material for a broad range of applications.
