Evening all,
I want to put some wall-mounted lights into our bedroom on either side of the bed, with a dimmer switch below. One-way switched to keep it simple.
It's a semi-detached house, and the wall in question is the adjoining wall with next door. Looks like it's plasterboard mounted directly onto the breeze blocks, no gap - so it seems that my only option is to chase the cables into the wall.
The depth of the chases will be not much more than 10mm unless I go into the breezeblocks which I really don't want to do if I can avoid it.
- I guess than 10mm is nowhere near deep enough to hold any kind of trunking?
- I gather from what I've been reading that they won't require capping since the cables will run vertically up from the lights/switch to the loft. Am I correct?
Cheers,
Chris.
