When we think of cable ducts, we mainly think of warehouses and offices, but did you know that steel cable ducts are also perfectly suitable for the home? Especially if you like a hip, sleek look or an industrial look. With cable ducts you can also do all kinds of things when it comes to the atmosphere in your home. Below we will tell you more about the possibilities and give three useful tips.
Hide cables
First of all, you can use cable ducts to do what they are intended for: neatly conceal cables. We also increasingly have to deal with all kinds of cables at home. Data cables, charging cables for telephone, tablet and PC and of course the regular power cables for lighting and the like. Before you know it, you have an entire cable network running through your house, which is untidy, creates a lot of dust and can also be dangerous. Stumbling, unsafe situations for children or gnawing pets, for example. With cable ducts (and with wall ducts !) you can neatly conceal all your cables.
Great for your lighting
Cable ducts offer the possibility of having lighting where you want it. In homes you are usually stuck with light points as designed by the architect or installed by the previous residents. And that is often not where you need that lighting: above your coffee table and dining table, the worktop in the kitchen or focused on that beautiful painting. Simply hang spotlights under the cable duct or hang a lamp on it, exactly in the place you have in mind. Tip: also look at track lighting. At InElektro, formerly Elektrohandelsprijs , you have a wide choice of all types of lighting.
Creative and in all colours
Creating a great atmosphere in your home requires creativity. You can get very creative with cable ducts. To start by creating points of light where you want them, but also by playing with color. You can spray-paint cable ducts in any color you want. For example, choose gutters in a contrasting color or let them 'blend' into the ceiling. Also very nice: cable ducts in the color of the window frames. And how about black glossy cable ducts?
Three tips for using cable ducts
- Tip 1: Are you moving into a new-build home? Do not spray the ceiling white yet, but leave it gray. This way you can easily think about how you can integrate steel cable ducts and then choose the color that best suits your interior.
- Tip 2: Choose overhead mounting brackets, so that the bottom of your cable duct remains free and there are no obstacles. Click a lighting rail under the gutter and you can play with light in your home to your heart's content.
- Tip 3: Think creatively. You can do much more with cable ducts! What about hanging up streamers (that saves a lot of clumsy hassle), hanging up party cards for birthdays or Christmas or attaching a camera or projection screen.
