puntloos Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 Wondering if this exists: I'm debating cutting a 1x1cm groove into a tile, laying a cable in it, and then putting a "french drain cover" over it. Does this exist? Is it a good idea? Photo below, but in miniature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Punter Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 No to all. Why do you want to do this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puntloos Posted April 23 Author Share Posted April 23 Floor power socket was placed in the wrong place, but it'll be under the carpet anyway, so leading a small cable duct from that socket to where the cable needs to actually come out seems the easiest way forward.

Russell griffiths Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 Why are you cutting it 1cm, if it’s under carpet then cut a proper chase out fit proper plastic conduit and fill it back in with screed, carpet over the top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is the underfloor heating, we can't be 100% sure where the pipes are, and accidentally cutting them isn't great. We can certainly inquire if we can go somewhat deeper, a 1cm pipe, and a tiny bit of screed on top could work.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Ambrose Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 (edited) Borrowing or renting a thermal camera (and turning the heating up for a few hours) may well tell you where the pipes are. And then maybe burying the cable in a bit of 20mm plastic conduit. Edited April 24 by Alan Ambrose 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
