One of the most important tasks in the construction of a new house is to provide housing with a normal flow of electric energy. Along with clamps and other devices for connecting cables in the modern world, special decorative conduits for wires are also used. The dimensions of these devices directly depend on the thickness of the cable being laid and the number of conductive elements. Where are they used and what are their features?
Application
At the moment, there are two ways to lay the power supply in the rooms: hidden (when the cable is hidden behind the plaster wall and is not accessible for any changes) and open (all details are visible or hidden in special boxes). According to experienced builders, the use of hidden wiring gives some advantages (hides the "beautiful" look of the cable from the human eye), but in practice it is simply unprofitable to use this laying method. Judge for yourself - if a short circuit occurs in the system (and if there are a mountain of Chinese electrical appliances now these are not such rare cases), in some part of the wire the copper wire will be damaged . To restore the electrical conductivity of the network again, it is necessary to completely “extract” the damaged area from the wall, hammer the plaster and damage the concrete. As for the box for wires, its use is more reasonable than "concreting" the cable in the wall. Even with a short circuit, you can simply open the latch on the latches and quickly detect a breakdown.
Material
Boxes for plastic wires are mainly made, but metal devices and the so-called “wooden” are also widely represented on the Russian market, which, by their external color, perfectly merge with parquet and other wooden surfaces. But the material here uses the same plastic. The only difference is only in color (white or brown with different patterns and patterns).
Benefits
One of the main advantages of this part is its ease of installation and low cost of installation costs . Boxes for wires are fastened almost like a plinth, while in work you do not need to use cement, putty knife and plaster. In addition, as we have already noted, these devices allow you to easily and quickly make changes and restore the wiring without harming the wall. Under the cover, you completely see the wire as it is, and therefore you can quickly find the flaw that has appeared.
With a hidden installation of an electric cable, you will have to tear it out until the exact location of the damage is discovered. Well, the last thing that a decorative wire box is good for is its appearance. In addition to being easy to install, just like a skirting board, it almost merges with it in color. It is almost invisible in the room, and when you see it, you might think that this is some kind of original design idea or something like that.
