Re: Hiding home cinema projector cables

["Tim Hawes" <timsyahoo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Which way do your ceiling joists run? If parallel to the length of the
room you could run them in the void above the ceiling. Make sure you
put in a draw-string too...

That easyfit stuff looks very good value. Typically, dado trunking is
upwards of =A310/metre, which would be another option.
B&Q do something similar to easyfit, but the only profile I've seen
was the plain quarter-round to match normal, plain coving. And it
looked a bit plasticy on first glance, but I don't remember if it was
the final finish or a protective film over the top.

If that still doesn't suit, TLC (and others) do this sort of thing:

One final option would be to create some false skirtings and chase the
wall out behind them to run cables.

HTH,

Tim.
