Cable Routing in 50 sqm Apartment: Replacing Electrical Installation with Suspended Ceiling

Question

Hello,
I am waiting for a complete renovation of the 50 sqm apartment. I am trying to replace the entire electrical installation. In the whole apartment, I will lower the ceiling by about 50 cm .
Regards.

Isn't it better to put it in the walls, not on the ceiling? Unless you are going to save, and lead the wires shortcuts EDIT - It was supposed to be on the walls, not the walls.

morrph · Answer

This would involve a lot of forging in the walls. If I let go of all the cables in the ceiling, it would be much less work because I would not have to crouch there, because the suspended ceiling will come anyway.

elpapiotr · Answer

After all, I am not writing about forging, but about placing the wires on, for example, spacing brackets on the wall, ABOVE the planned suspended ceiling.

Anonymous · Answer

If you cover the wires with a conduit, you can attach them to the ceiling frame

elpapiotr · Answer

It's not a good solution, after all.

Anonymous · Answer

How do you run the wires in the K / G walls?

elpapiotr · Answer

Normally But at the crossings of the profiles, they are protected against their sharp edges.

morrph · Answer

I understand, but is there any regulation that says that the wiring for sockets must be led in the walls, and lighting in the ceiling?

Leonidas1990 · Answer

Rather, there is no such provision anywhere, because I have never met him, the wires from the sockets later, you will have to run up the wall anyway, so I would be inclined to the advice of my friend Elpapiotr.

elpapiotr · Answer

Oh my God. Is it so difficult to understand and imagine the cable routes?
Probably obvious that it is good to "go" with the cable to the existing ceiling to the upper lighting outlet.
Well, unless you just throw in a new one, loose, because they do anyway.

morrph · Answer

It's a bit strange, in my opinion the wires are safer in the ceiling than on the wall. Not to mention the fact that cable routing in the floor has recently been popular ..

elpapiotr · Answer

Is 25 cm from the existing ceiling and 25 cm from the planned one a safe distance?

morrph · Answer

In my case, yes, you are right, but when someone lowers the ceiling and a few cm, I don't think so

Anonymous · Answer

And the conduit is not a protection against mechanical damage to the cable?

kkas12 · Answer

You can also install troughs (or sections of troughs) on the ceiling and lead the cables from them where the accessories will be installed.

elpapiotr · Answer

Everything about it. We are not talking about a few centimeters, but about half a meter PS. In companies, behemoths, etc., perforated troughs are mounted on the walls above the suspended ceiling, and the cables are placed there. It is an unnecessary expense for you.

morrph · Answer

Okay And is there any further condition as to how many cables can I put in one conduit / trough?

jann111 · Answer

Apply such that they all come in.

morrph · Answer

Ok, topic exhausted. Thanks .

elpapiotr · Answer

But what are the conduits above the suspended ceiling for? I cannot comprehend it

BILGO · Answer

A colleague elpapiotr writes well, if we have enough space, the cables can be mounted on the wall between the existing and suspended ceilings .. The passes then become redundant.

elpapiotr · Answer

Are conduits needed here?

deus.ex.machina · Answer

Why don't you use the troughs? - attach them to the wall and after the trouble.

TWK · Answer

What for? How much is a meter of a trough and how many 2 or 4 handles shown by elpapiotr? How much time is the trough assembled and how much time such holders?

Leonidas1990 · Answer

I agree with TEC, firstly, additional cost entry and secondly, time. We save on both

pol102 · Answer

This can be done even faster than @elpapiotr proposes

I especially recommend the plastic ones, they are great to use even when working alone. You have to drill, but you can insert and remove the wires many times.

Leonidas1990 · Answer

I agree with pol102 only that if the owner wants to go a little on the cost, better let him choose the elpapiotra option, it's always a little cheaper

pol102 · Answer

Following this, let's drill pegs, tie the screws with wire and wrap the wires with them - cheaper after all.

Leonidas1990 · Answer

well, going as high as possible, you do surface installation by mounting it on aluminum tape
