The systems
There are several different conduit systems to hide your home's cables:
- The conduit distribution system enables you to pile cables up high. This is very useful when it comes to distributing household electrical items in a kitchen for example.
- The miniconduit system is the most used. Depending on the capacity required, they are sold in lengths of over two metres to enable a distribution without too many connections. You can cover electric or communications cabling, such as the telephone cable for example.
- The angle system is appropriate for hiding cables in corners of both walls and ceilings.
- The skirting system imitates the traditional wooden skirting board. Some two centimetres in width, you can distribute as many cables as you wish.
- These systems can be connected together and can incorporate made to fit plugs or sockets.

The first step, the design
- To save time and money you must first think about the design of the conduit distribution. Calculate how much material you are likely to need and if it is a skirting, angle or miniconduit system.
- Take into account how many cables are going to be� hidden and their use and only buy pieces that are large enough to cover all the cables. The capacity will always be in proportion to the width of the cable. The thicker the cable, the fewer fit. And vice-versa.

- Keep in mind all the obstacles that you may encounter: doors, windows, columns, etc.
- This will give you an idea of how many connection and finishing pieces you will need. Remember that there are adjustable angles which enable you to get round any corner.

How to install
- Cut the conduits, angles or skirting boards with the metal saw. If you wish, you can round off the rough edges with sandpaper, although the conduits will be perfectly hidden with an endpiece or extension.
- The can be attached to the wall in various ways, depending on the model: via autoadhesive, with standard adhesive or screws or nails. Sometimes a combined adhesive and screw system is used.
- Each part of the system fits together like a puzzle. Use joints, endpieces or other connections to carry the conduit wherever you wish.
- The different mechanisms can be incorporated with the corresponding piece in any of the systems.
