Meridian Trunking for offices of leading online retailer

25-01-2019

Construction Materials Online (CMO) is a leading online supplier of construction materials in the UK. Based in South Devon the initial site for CMO, Roofing Superstore, was the first in its field which successfully lead to the online business model developing subsequent sister sites, Drainage Superstore, Insulation Superstore and Door Superstore. Now offering 65,000 products across specialist construction disciplines, the company satisfies modern consumer demands for a smarter, online solution to purchasing building materials.

When it came to building new offices in Burrington Business Park in Plymouth CMO turned to Paul Barlow Electrical of Kingsbridge for the electrical installation work. Renowned for their quality of workmanship and expertise in building automation, audio and computer networking, Paul chose the Meridian range from Centaur Manufacturing for the three compartment uPVC cable trunking. Fitted at dado level the Meridian range incorporates many features such as a clean curved profile with clip on covers eliminating the need for any unsightly fixing screws. Internal and external corners have flexible joints to take up any small inaccuracies in the corners of buildings and the outer lids hinge down to facilitate the laying in of cables.

“We were very pleased with the finish of this quality product,” said Matt Barlow, “the job was made easier due to the pre-pierced holes in the dado lengths meaning they were easier to mount on the wall. The clip-in accessories are great and really helped making the installation quick and easy.”

Matching the curved profile, M2 wiring accessories were fitted on the trunking creating a harmonious soft edge appearance. The M2 products included twin switched sockets and Cat 5e data outlets purposely positioned for when the office space was furnished.
