Marshall Tufflex - Sovereign Plus range is designed to go in hotels,
houses etc. Looks very like skirting - I've got it throughout the house,
except kitchen, hall, bathrooms. The architrave doesn't look quite as
good, but it's still not very noticable. Also - you don't have to paint
it every few years :)

Can't remember the cost- it was put in by the builder when the house was
built. However, it's not that big - I've got 6 cat-5's in a couple of
places, and it's getting a bit full.

Also, the accessory boxes put the faceplates above the skirting, and
proud of it - to get sufficient depth for a connector. So, they look a
bit obvious - but not too bad.

Cheers,

Colin.
