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.

yes thats centaur you dojt like.

you cant put marshal lind on centaur or vice versa, there different.

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,
