Hi everyone,
things are starting to get serious for us. It’s time to think about the basic positions and quantities of sockets, lamps, network connections, satellite connections, and empty conduits.
I have roughly sketched and attached my current planning status. Maybe someone has a helpful comment for me? Does anyone see a spot where I absolutely need a network connection, empty conduit, or similar?
For explanation:
· We are also installing a controlled residential ventilation system, which will be installed in the screed of the basement ceiling and the ground floor ceiling. Therefore, we cannot lay empty conduits in the screed insulation, because we would then interfere with the oval pipes of the ventilation. But I am not really a fan of empty conduits with bends and curves anyway. Therefore, my plan is to simply let the empty conduits run vertically down the wall into the basement whenever possible and collect the cables there in cable ducts.
· The plan now shows the full installation of satellite connections and network. All of this should be laid in empty conduits that will be “filled only if needed.” Child 1 is currently 16 months old, child 2 is still in planning. So it will be at least 10 years before satellite and network connections are needed in the children’s rooms. And by then there will probably be completely different technologies.
· The recessed ceiling spots will be cast into the precast concrete ceiling, so there will be no suspended ceiling.
· The various empty conduits on the ground floor should simply go straight down into the basement. There I can then, if necessary, run the cables openly under the ceiling to the switch / satellite system or 5.1 receiver (which is located under the TV in the living room).
· Likewise, the cables for network and satellite in the guest room, living room, and bedroom should simply be laid in empty conduits running exactly straight down. The endpoint is then again at the outlet of the basement ceiling. Further routing is open or in cable ducts.
· In the office on the upper floor, there is anyway a small technical shaft that runs down through the pantry on the ground floor into the technical/laundry basement. The cables for the office on the upper floor and child 1 run through there.
· Child 2, or rather the room for child 2, is still somewhat of a worry. This room floats completely freely above the living room, so there is no wall beneath through which I could lead an empty conduit down. I would have to somehow work through the dressing room. In the worst case, I would run the cables openly in the dressing room and then together with the cables from the bedroom down into the basement.
· I generally only prepare the empty conduits and empty boxes in the wall, installation of the network and satellite system I will do myself.
Thanks and best regards,
Andreas
