Dado trunking opinions?

[Leesparkykent]

I've got a shed load of dado trunking to purchase and install on a office refurb that im starting after christmas. Just wondering what people's opinions are on best make for ease of installation, cost etc. I normally use MK but its pricey but I like the way it all goes together, I've also used some proper crap in the past that's why I would like some opinions.

I have used it hundreds of times, the lid falls off if you hold the length up vertically, yet is almost impossible to remove when flat on the wall, cheap rubbish.

? marshal tufflex minitrunking lid doesnt fall off like that, it is hard to pull off sometimes and never had it fall off

Yup marshall is the same, I prefer plastic pipe rather than minitrunking.

what im saying is, if it has been put on properly it doesnt fall off, we use it all the time on door access and not see any lid that has fallen off etc

cut a meter off a length of CEF trunking and then hold it vertically, the lid will more than likely slide off, put it on a wall and then try to pull the lid off, it is tight, very tight, I just don't like the stuff and I am afraid I won't be changing my mind about it either :biggrin:

Mate I respect your opinion but have to say I am honestly baffled by your comments and can only assume we are not referring to the same trunking. The centaur I use has a lid which fits perfectly,neither tight nor loose,and I can assure you it will NOT slide if you hold it upright. Because of the lid profile it is the only minitrunking it is possible to form neat,self supporting sets and angles. The lid is tight enough to be secure in use,but easily removed if needed.The older stuff admittedly used to yellow and go brittle,but this was sorted a long time ago.
Here is centaur MT2 which I use,
