I am about to start wiring two flats from scratch. The builder board the ceiling and make it fireproof my first fix will be to this ceiling. Then they suspend another ceiling under that by 150mm with accoustic/thermal so my wires will be inside that. I am planning to use metal plastic coated strip and loop them on the routes. The question being how do you do it, is there a better way?
 
Hi @UNG, yes thinking about that. Is accoustic thermal (I guess so) and it is above plasterboard (100mm) then the cable touching plaster board on top of another layer of accoustic (100mm) Trying to figure out if that counts as "surrounded by thermal insulation" Assuming the worst anyway and using the rule of thumb applying a 0.5 downrating factor.
