Retro-style wiring is a painstaking process. You need to determine the place for the wire to pass through, install insulators at the right distance. The rollers are attached with screws through a hole in the product, so the markings must be done in advance so as not to get extra holes in the wall later.
If the cost of the entire electrical wiring is high, you can make a twisted wire yourself. This will help reduce costs. To do this, you should buy a copper wire in a fabric braid and twist it yourself. When buying, keep in mind dentist data when twisting, the length of the wire will decrease by 30%. For self-production of a twisted cable, you can use a copper multi-core wire (RGKM). Such a wire has a two-layer sheath made of silicone and fiberglass. Such a wiring element can be used in bathhouses. When doing such wiring yourself, it is better to twist it during the installation process. If the conductors are twisted, then after each insulator it is better to change the direction of the turn.
The cost of elements for the implementation of an electrical network in a vintage style will be considerable, but a beautiful and safe interior is worth it. Unfortunately, there are no Russian manufacturers who could provide good equipment for the implementation of electrical wiring in an antique house. You can buy high-quality wires from some, and beautiful vintage sockets from others.
Due to the lack of domestic products, the price of retro wiring elements will remain high.
Wiring Features
Retro-style wiring is an electrical network created on the basis of twisted single-core cables installed on wall surfaces in an open manner - using special insulators (rollers). Cables are usually installed in a house in such a way that they are located at a certain distance from the internal surfaces of the structure. The rules for the installation of electrical installations stipulate that such a distance should be more than 1 cm.
The distance between cables and surfaces in the house must be implemented to reduce the likelihood of current-carrying parts of the electrical network coming into contact with fire-hazardous materials, for example, with the wooden walls of a building or structure.
