Erection Method/ Cable Types In Shop Displays

[paulcopeman]

I have been asked to look at wiring displays in shops the type of shop where you walk into a showroom. I.e fake lounge or fake bedroom. I have done commercial stuff and domestic stuff but in this instance I was wondering before I get there what type of erection methods and cable types would be employed usually.

I would imagine FB cable on tray to each (room and then dropped down into light fittings. I wouldn't expect many sockets mostly lighting points probably.

Any thoughts or help mostly appreciated.

Lol. I m gonna have a look at the existing stuff when visiting the site.

Thought maybe I'd get the heads up from someone beforehand.

Cheers

Think flex is preferred option in general - the public aren't going to be banging nails in walls or anything like that, so the environment is quite controlled if you get my drift. Main issue would be flexibility for changing areas as required.

plug in ceiling track/trunking

the old Marshall Tufflex 700 series was good.

run a couple of lengths, dual cct if required, plug in drop leads, carry on.

As kerchin said 

I used to wire MFI and Allied Carpet stores and we would us telemec busbar trunking and use flex to points
