As I have needed to do a few installations recently which were all
surfaced wired, I though I would lob the few photos I had into an
article with some tips on wiring surface stuff.

What I got so far was:

However it could do with photos of other types of install - say conduit
metal and plastic), micc, square trunked etc. Anyone got any good shots
I can use handy?



This is 16mm wide trunking encased in a 33mm x 16mm strip of softwood,
that inside I've routed out a slot.

Primarily it's done here for mechanical protection as next to it is
stored our Henry vacuum cleaner, and as vacuum cleaners go he is a bit
boisterous when being returned to his staircase cupboard home.

However, if I were running cables across or down a wall, I think it
looks a lot nicer than just the naked trucking, and the wood can be
painted or stained as a feature. In fact a line of them centrally below
a wall mounted TV wouldn't look too bad either, with the advantage that
cables can easily be removed and replaced when needed.

Then again YMMV.
