About

Focus SB® is an award winning British brand renowned for the design, development and manufacture of premium electrical wiring accessories. At the forefront of its industry for over 44 years and committed to reducing its carbon footprint, Focus SB’s long standing ability to create desirable faceplate and light switch designs and finishes uses a blend of traditional artisan crafts combined with cutting edge technology complemented by years of in-house experience and investment in training.

Innovative, hand finished products are specified by prominent design consultants for world class hospitality and leisure resorts, prime residential developments, heritage buildings, royal residences, superyachts and commercial projects internationally.

Distinctive switch faceplates and socket outlets are finished by hand, with many processes still involving a high level of human contact directly with the components throughout the manufacturing journey, from raw material to the final assembly.

Unique in its industry, Focus SB can produce bespoke light switches and power outlets to match a variety of smart home controls products. The company partners and develops products with specialist prime residential technology system integrators to provide harmonious design and finish detail solutions. An in-house finishing service enables design consultants and specifiers to seamlessly match finishes across multiple electrical accessories from switches and sockets to home cinema, media room and security products.

In an exclusive collaboration with Focus SB, Lutron has added a raw brass faceplate kit for its Palladiom keypads, finished by Focus SB, with the launch of high-quality Alisse electrical accessories manufactured by Focus SB to complement its wall controls.

Offering one of the widest ranging and highest-quality products and finishes portfolios in the world, Focus SB manufactures all of its own internal switch and socket components in-house in the UK. This enables custom finishing for dimmer switches selected for ‘hotel style’ combination plates where lighting and power elements are to be built into one unit.

Winner of the King’s Award for Enterprise for International Trade in 2023, Focus SB made history in its industry in 2017 when it became the first and only British and European manufacturer to gain accreditation to supply and sell wiring accessories directly from Europe to mainland China’s luxury construction marketplace.
