FAQs
What is the main purpose of this trunking?
This trunking is designed to discreetly hide and manage cables, particularly for wall-mounted TVs, offering a cleaner aesthetic.
Can I join multiple pieces together for longer runs?
Yes, multiple 2-meter lengths can be joined using D-Line connectors (sold separately) to create longer, continuous runs.
How is the trunking typically mounted?
It can be mounted using strong double-sided adhesive tape or by screwing it directly to the surface, depending on user preference and surface type.
What color is the trunking?
The trunking is a standard white, designed to blend with most wall colors.
What are the external dimensions of the trunking?
The external dimensions are 50mm in width and 25mm in height.
Is this trunking suitable for outdoor use?
This trunking is designed for indoor use. Prolonged outdoor exposure may degrade the PVC material.
Can I paint the trunking?
While PVC can be painted, it's recommended to use paints specifically formulated for plastics to ensure adhesion and a lasting finish. However, the white finish is intended to be unobtrusive on its own.
Troubleshooting
Trunking cover won't snap on securely.
Ensure cables inside are not obstructing the cover's path. Check for any debris within the trunking base. Ensure the cover and base are the correct D-Line model and size.
Adhesive not holding trunking to the wall.
Ensure the wall surface is properly cleaned and dried before application. Use a high-quality, heavy-duty double-sided tape specifically designed for mounting and plastic surfaces. Allow adequate curing time for the adhesive.
Trunking appears warped or discolored.
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or extreme temperatures. Clean with a damp cloth only, avoiding harsh chemicals.
Difficulty cutting trunking cleanly.
Use a sharp, fine-toothed saw or a specialized PVC cutter. Make slow, steady cuts to prevent jagged edges.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Measure and Cut: Determine the required length. Use a fine-toothed saw or appropriate PVC cutter to cut the trunking to size. Ensure cuts are straight for a clean finish.
- Prepare Surface: Clean the wall or surface where the trunking will be installed. Ensure it is dry and free from dust or grease.
- Mounting: The trunking can be mounted using strong double-sided tape suitable for plastic (often specifically designed for cable trunking) or by using screws through pre-drilled holes (if available or if you choose to create them).
- Install Cables: Gently place cables inside the trunking base.
- Attach Cover: Snap or slide the trunking cover into place over the base, ensuring a secure fit.
Compatibility:
