Conservatory Dilemma

[lepoidm]

Hi All,

New one on me this is...

Been asked to put some sockets into a recent built conservatory....

The conservatory base is in in and is fully constructed......

However, the conservatory does not have dwarf walls........ the lower panels where the dwarf walls would be are UPVC......

Any ideas on where and how to fix sockets please?

As for routing the cables.... prob have to use trunking unless strong argument for white conduit?

thanks

in this situation i would explain to the client that they can have trunking run round, or mount the sockets on the back ( house) wall.

Self adhesive trunking and surface mounted sockets stuck using self adhesive tape and short screws presuming the solid UPVC panels are double skinned?

I've found the self adhesive trunking sticks like "s to a b".

Regards

Yeah cheers.... cant put on house wall as a radiator is going there..... :-(

My biggest worry is how to get a good and safe fixing for the socket patress's...... (not sure if that spelling is correct.. lol)

I have always had a dwarf wall or like you said, house wall to fix to/chop out....

Thanks

Sorry didnt see this post.... you must have posted it as I was replying to telectrix.......

The upvc panels look cheap as chips...... totally agree with the self adhesive trunking...... not sure if sticking the sockets to the UPVC would meet the regs....... although its ok for trunking????

any thoughts... anyone?

thanks

what about the vertical ends of the panels they must have metal box sections inside them for strength ,find out who the manufacturer is and ask them
