FAQs
How is the 3m length supplied?
The 3m (300cm) length is supplied as three individual 1m (100cm) pieces that can be joined together for a continuous run.
Can this trunking be used outdoors?
This trunking is designed for indoor use. While UV stabilized, it is not rated for outdoor environmental exposure.
What kind of cables can fit inside?
This 16mm (width) x 8mm (height) trunking is suitable for speaker cables, audio cables, thin power cords, and other similar low-voltage wiring. For larger cable bundles, consider larger trunking sizes.
How do I clean the trunking?
Wipe the trunking with a soft cloth lightly dampened with water. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning materials.
Can I paint the trunking?
Yes, the trunking is paintable. You can use standard household paints to match it to your wall or skirting board colour for a seamless look.
What tools do I need to install it?
For cutting, you will need a hacksaw or a specialized trunking cutter. Installation itself is tool-free thanks to the self-adhesive backing and snap-seal design.
Is the adhesive strong enough for all surfaces?
The self-adhesive backing provides a strong bond on most smooth, clean, and dry surfaces. For textured, dusty, or uneven surfaces, additional fixings like screws or clips might be recommended.
Troubleshooting
Trunking not adhering firmly to the surface.
Ensure the surface is thoroughly cleaned and dried before application. For challenging surfaces (e.g., textured wallpaper, brick), consider using a stronger, compatible adhesive or small screws/clips for added security.
Trunking lid doesn't snap shut properly.
Check for obstructions inside the trunking. Ensure cables are neatly arranged and not preventing a clean closure. The hinge may need a slight flex to engage correctly.
Difficulty cutting the trunking cleanly.
Use a sharp cutting tool, such as a fine-toothed hacksaw or a dedicated trunking cutter. For a cleaner finish, support the trunking firmly while cutting.
Discoloration after prolonged sun exposure.
While UV stabilized, prolonged direct sunlight may eventually cause some fading. If this is a concern, consider painting the trunking to provide an additional protective layer.
