Hi All,
I have a general question about running conduit under a screeded floor around the house and wondered how others have managed.
My Node - 0 is in a rack in the cellar. I'm presently working on a "media" room that is above the cellar. This needs quite a bit of wiring and just happens to be the best room to work on at present.
I'd ready to complete the room, which includes fitting underfloor heating and adding a screed. The problem is that I have 2 further rooms which are connected to this and I'd like to make sure I can run cables into these as required.
I plan to run two 3" downpipes under the floor and into the adjacent room, use one for power cables and the other for data. This allows me to get cables into the first room, and from there into the second one.
However, I'm not sure what's the best way to distribute within a room itself, or in fact, how much conduit to run in the floor/walls. For example, should I run a downpipe along the centre of the room and 'tee' off in the middle to provide a feed to the centre of each wall, or is this a bit over the top (my wife certainly thinks it is!). Alternatively, do most people just get cable into the room and put "enough" in there, screed the floor and hope for the best!
Any thoughts appreciated!
