Power Docks are now the must have space saving device for kitchen worktops.

Whether fitted as an aftermarket item or as part of a new kitchen install a Power-dock or Power dock can add useful plug socket space and versatility to a work top area.

Power Docks can add plug sockets to a kitchen worktop
saving on space and can be concealed when not in use.


One concern from installers is that there is a very low margin of error
for installing (drilling) the granite, marble or slate worktops.

Power docks are quite unforgiving on drilling tolerances as there is nothing
to hide the hole once drilled. So it has to be right first time!

At 365Drills we produce PORSADRILL. Its a value for money brand
of commercial diamond drills, cores and holesaws and perfect for
GRANITE, Marble, Porcelain, Travertine, Glass, Pottery, Slate and
a whole host of other stone based materials used to make worktops.

At 365Drills we make a range of large size Diamond core drills & hole saws

The diamod cores from 365Drills can easily cut holes into GRANITE.
