New Conservatory Wiring TYPE choice.

Zoomup
Helloooooo All,


What is the preferred TYPE of cable to be run in a foundation dwarf wall cavity of a new domestic conservatory? The cables can not be run from above as the walls are glazed. The cables can not be run from below as there is underfloor heating to be installed.


The main concern is any adverse effect of any unknown thermal insulation such as polystyrene that may be added into the cavity upon the cable insulation.


Thanks,


Z.

    Some PVC conservatories with an aluminium 'ring beam' around the top of the windows have a clip-on PVC cover that leaves some space for wiring behind it. You can then drop (or go up to lights) in PVC trunking which can look surprisingly inconspicuous against the PVC frames.

    Thanks Andy, I was originally concerned about the lower socket supplies in the dwarf walls.
