Electrical cables run throughout all types of buildings both residential and commercial. Cable trunking is a an enclosure which encases cables to protect them and provide space for other electrical equipment. There are two main reasons why people install trunking to hide cables or to protect them.
Trunking can provide easy access to cables when needed via removable covers. Electrical trunking is available in many materials, sizes and forms to suit the requirements of the installation.
Types of trunking
The types of cable trunking required will depend entirely on the application.
Plastic Trunking
Residential or office environments will often use plastic/PVC trunking. PVC has prevailed as a material for cable trunking, thanks to its robust characteristics. It is flame-resistant, largely withstands UV radiation and offers smooth surfaces which look great around walls or floor lines.
Metal Trunking
For more industrial applications or areas of high footfall metal trunking rules. You can choose aluminium trunking for walls or steel trunking if you want to run cables under the floor. If electrical cables need to be run underground then flush floor trunking is a great option. Steel is known for its strength, which is why steel trunking is ideal for areas where there is high footfall.
