Trunking to go at the corner of a room
 

I would like to run some speaker cable up the corner of the room.

Ideally I would like triangular section or "quarter circle" (that is a
quarter slice of a round cake) profile.

My Google skills don't seem to be up to finding any, and Wickes and
Screwfix don't seem to stock any.

Is the answer to use square/oblong profile (which won't look quite as
neat) or is there a supplier hiding from me?

Cheers

Try B&Q, they do white plastic cable trunking.

Duh!
Quadrant trunking.
As manufactured by D-Line, for one.

D-Line make quadrant trunking that looks decent (by trunking standards):

Sold by TLC, Screwfix (or ToolSatan, I forget), Home base and maybe B&Q

I used some that had a clip on curved front that looks quite respectable
insitu. The big problem was fitting it, it has self-adhesive strips on
each of the flat sides to stick to the walls where they meet in the
corner. Great idea, but a pain to get both sides to stick at the same
time.

I have no idea where I bought it, probably a B&Q though.

When I have had similar problems with trunking on wiggly walls I find a
well placed spot of hot melt adhesive usually does the trick.

I've just done mine glued into the corner, with mastic over it and smoothed with a finger. Acceptably neat when painted over.

Oh, and I found it on Amazon.
Price of £26.99 for 22mm * 1.5m.

This seemed a lot, so I asked how many pieces.
Apparently just one.

Given that you can get 6 * 2m pieces for £24.99 from Screwfix this seems a
tad expensive.

Previously I've used the oval section stuff to good effect; its rounded
edges blended well when I stuck the stuff to the edge of a door frame, which
also had rounded edges. It's not that one couldn't see the trunking, just
that it didn't have sharp 90-degree corners to it. However the stuff
doesn't have a prise-off lid, so is only suited to jobs where you can thread
the cable through before fitting plugs to the end of the cable.
