I'm going to install 8 x 10mm2 spurs in my new place. I have to do it today!

I need advise on direction of the 10mm2 T&E cables. How should I read the inscription on the cable? I think that it must be read from CU to wall sockets. Is this correct?

Thank you in advance.

Emil

Just try to get them all pointing in the same direction.

Actively enjoying it all

the writing should read from your consumer unit towads your kit, apparently.

thants what I was advised...

andy c!

Yep, I've gone with the CU->Socket L->R thing (as the writing reads, anyway) too.

Had no end of fun trying to persuade a short length of 6mm.sq. T&E into an MK plug (as I needed a short power chord for my new installation)...

Anyway, I digress...

John

Thank you for the help!

My electrician did the job early in the morning. Now the writing reads from the CU to the wall sockets, equal length, all pointing in the same direction.

Now I have to decide what is better: latex or wallpaper for the walls?

Latex? Is this a listening room you're creating or something for deviant purposes!

PAAS,

maybe it's lost in translation. It's some kind of paint, which is put with a paint blower to the plastered brick walls.

Emil,

I think I get your drift. Sounds like the sort of thing they've used in most of the French ski appartments I've stayed in - often with coloured flecks in. I don't think people in the UK use it much in their homes. So you're not a rubber fetishist after all? Me neither! I believe wallpaper has better acoustic damping properties when compared to painted walls but how much difference it really makes I wouldn't care to speculate. Hope the new mains wiring lives up to your expectations.
