Product Information

Full details

This 3-meter white D-shaped trunking is ideal for homeowners and commercial users seeking to neatly conceal speaker cables or other low-voltage wiring along walls and skirting boards. Its primary benefit is creating a clean, professional look by hiding unsightly cables. A minor caveat is that the 3m length is supplied as three 1m pieces, requiring joining for continuous runs. Key features include its easy snap-seal design, self-adhesive backing for quick installation, and paintable surface for seamless integration into any decor. The durable PVC construction is also self-extinguishing and UV stabilized.

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.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Prepare Surface: Ensure the surface where the trunking will be applied is clean, dry, and free from dust or grease.
  2. Measure and Cut: If necessary, measure the required length and cut the trunking using a D-line cutting tool, hacksaw, or handsaw. For the 3m length, decide if you need to join the three 1m sections.
  3. Apply Adhesive: Peel back the protective film from the self-adhesive backing.
  4. Position and Press: Carefully position the trunking and press firmly along its length to ensure a secure bond.
  5. Insert Cables: Open the trunking by releasing the snap-seal and insert your cables.
  6. Close Trunking: Snap the trunking shut securely.

Compatibility:

  • Cable Types: Ideal for speaker cables, audio cables, low-voltage power cords, and other similar wiring. Ensure cable thickness fits within the 16mm x 8mm dimensions.
  • Surfaces: Adheres well to smooth, painted walls, skirting boards, and wooden surfaces. For rough or textured surfaces, consider using additional suitable adhesive or fixings.
  • Environment: Designed for indoor use. Not recommended for high-traffic areas where it might be subjected to significant impact.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Wipe clean with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
  • Maintenance: Periodically check the adhesion and cable security. Reapply pressure if needed. Ensure the snap-seal remains functional.
