Re: Hiding Wires with wall mount?

you have two options really

1. chase a channel in the wall, put the cables in and plaster over them & re paint

2. Buy some conduit from B&Q - they do all sorts of shapes, sizes and colours now rather than the old bog standard square stuff

hope that helps

As appledrone has said either chase:



To get clean finish:



Or trunking:

Re: Hiding Wires with wall mount?

Isn't there a way to use some form of "hidden trunking" eg. actually flush with the wall? This would also allow for future add-ons, future upgrades in av equipment?
