Open wiring in a house made of glued beams

In any design built of combustible material, it is better to use the open type of wiring for the reason that at the time of the emergency, access to its elements will always be open. Of course, some aesthetic unattractiveness is distinguished among the main shortcomings of this option, and besides, under a layer of finishing material, the wire will probably cool faster than in the open space, but it is still more advisable in the house from the glued timber that just such an option. In addition, in case of further need, it is always possible to remove or, conversely, add some segments of the wiring that is established in the public domain.

One of the oldest methods of laying open wiring is the use of twisted wires, which are suspended on the walls and ceiling using ceramic insulators. It is worth noting that such a retro-style implies difficult searches for these same insulators that were used in wooden houses of the beginning of the last century. Another thing is electrical brackets that are easy to purchase in any modern store of electrical devices. In this case, it is better to use one -core cables on a rigid basis with two or three layers of isolation. They are attached to the surface with these very brackets, while the cross section should be less than six millimeters in the square. When using a cheaper cable (not with copper silts), it is also necessary to use additionally a gasket of non -combustible material. Asbestos is better not to use due to its toxicity.

In addition to the above methods, you can also use corrugated pipes for open cable laying. From an aesthetic point of view, this option is more preferable due to the fact that several cables can be located in one pipe at once. At the same time, it is attached to the wall using special clips or screeds of plastic and metal. This option is used both in houses made of glued beams, and in designs made of galled logs, on which a corrugated pipe with wires falls well.

Another way of laying is the installation of plastic boxes and installation of cables for skirting boards. In this case, it is necessary to wait for the complete drying of the wood, before it will be possible to start installing the wiring. By the way, in this way you can disguise cables and wires well. You can also use combined methods that imply the use of several methods of installation at once.
