FAQs
Can I cut the trunking to custom lengths?
Yes, you can cut the trunking to the required lengths using a saw or a similar cutting tool. Ensure you have the proper tools and safety equipment.
What types of cables can I run through the trunking?
The trunking is designed to accommodate most standard cables, including power cords, HDMI cables, Ethernet cables, and more. Make sure the cables fit within the trunking's dimensions.
How do I paint the trunking?
Clean the surface, apply a primer suitable for plastic, and then paint with your desired color. Allow ample time for the paint to dry completely.
What should I do if the trunking doesn't fit the wall perfectly?
Use a level to ensure straight alignment. You might need to use shims or additional fixings to compensate for uneven surfaces.
Is the trunking suitable for outdoor use?

Can I add more cables later on?
While technically possible, it can be challenging. Plan your cable runs carefully, and leave some slack. Consider using trunking with removable covers for easier access.
Where can I find additional accessories?
Additional accessories such as corners, couplers, and end caps are often available at the retailer where you purchased the trunking.
Troubleshooting
Trunking doesn't stay in place.
Ensure that you are using the correct screws or adhesive for your wall type. Make sure the trunking is properly aligned and the fixings are securely tightened.
Cables are difficult to fit inside.
Double-check the trunking's size to ensure it can accommodate your cables. Consider using a cable management tool to assist in routing cables through the trunking.
