Socket flush trunking

You might do better with

that way you can keep your phone, data and power cabling separate. I'd go for surface mounting it though, it gives you somewhere to rest pencils and other useful items on. :-)

The first one the OP linked to, allows for divider fillet to be cut to suit and pressed onto the groves, to give separation for power and data.

My feeling is that it's not going to be possible to make it look other than it is. And at a considerable cost. I'd say it would be as easy - and cheaper - to make your own using battens and ply covers.

It's also not a good idea to run mains and signalling cables in the same trunking, unless designed specifically for the job. Which usually means galvanic isolation between the two. But even then I'd keep them as separate as possible and avoid long parallel runs.

Personally, in a workshop, I like metal clad surface mount sockets and steel conduit.

Thanks, I didn't realise that.

If you are thinking of 20mm steel tube I couldn't agree more, there again I am a bit weird, I really enjoy bending and threading it! :-(

For plaster over applications its probably more common to use capping (other PVC or galvanised)

Any protruding surface will tend to collect dust in a workshop...

Dust can stay in the lounge where it won't do any harm :-)

Trunking IS a surface mounted installation!

Conduit may suit your needs.

And Theo, if you decide to use that (the plastic one), let me know: I have a pile of it that I don?t need.
