Hi,
I posted a question earlier about connecting SWA using a gland and now I have another question on a related issue.
I have just erected a largish log cabin in my garden and since it's made of pine (or some other Scandinavian wood) which is thick enough not to need lining inside, I am wondering how best to hide the internal wiring.
As I see it I have two options (since I don't want sockets in the floor) and that is I either go for white dado-style trunking, or else I could get a router out (to shape the lid) and make some wooden trunking that would do the same job, but blend in more with the interior. By trunking I am talking about something that I could use to carry the cable in, as well as set the pattresses in for the wall sockets.
Are there any regulations that would forbid trunking being made from wood? Obviously I am thinking about fire hazard in the event of some kind of electrical failure?
