Different types of gutters for different applications

Raceways are conduits through which electrical wiring is distributed, essential elements in the management and organization of various applications, from electrical installations to telecommunications systems. Below, we explain the different types of raceways and their applications, providing a useful guide to select the best option according to your requirements.

Open hole troughs

Open-hole raceways are ideal for applications where easy access to cables is required during installation and maintenance. This type of trunking allows cables to be inserted and removed without having to dismantle the entire structure, making the work of technicians easier.

Applications:

• Data centers
• Telecommunications installations
• Structured cabling systems

 

Closed orifice troughs

Closed-hole raceways offer increased protection for cables, preventing dust and other particles from entering. This type of trunking is suitable for environments where cleanliness and cable protection are a priority.

Applications:

• Food industries
• Medical and pharmaceutical environments
• Industrial installations

 

Totally enclosed gutters

Fully enclosed raceways provide the highest level of protection, completely isolating the cables from any external interference. They are ideal for critical applications where cabling integrity must be preserved at all costs.

Applications:

• Outdoor electrical installations
• Industrial environments with high exposure to contaminants
• Critical infrastructure projects

 

Closed gutters with holed base

The channels with a holed base facilitate ventilation and drainage, preventing heat and moisture build-up inside. This design is particularly useful in applications where cable overheating could be a problem.

Applications:

• Refrigeration systems
• Installations in areas with high humidity
• Electrical projects in hot environments

 

Closed multiway gutters

Multi-way raceways allow the separation and organization of different types of cables within a single structure. This is essential in complex installations where multiple cabling systems are handled.

Applications:

• Commercial and residential buildings
• Data centers
• Telecommunications network installations

 

Decorative gutters

Decorative raceways are designed to discreetly conceal wiring and enhance the aesthetics of any space. They are an excellent choice for installations in homes, offices and commercial spaces where a clean and tidy design is desired.

Within this type of gutter, there are self-adhesive options, which facilitate installation without the need to drill through walls. Thanks to their high-strength adhesive, they are easily fixed to smooth surfaces, making them ideal for projects where the use of tools is to be avoided.

Applications:

• Residential and office installations

• Commercial spaces where aesthetics is key

• Refurbishment projects without construction work

 

Gutters of different materials

We offer gutters in a variety of materials to suit different environments and strength requirements. Gutters can be made of PVC, nylon and galvanized steel, each with its own advantages.

Applications:

• PVC gutters: General and domestic installations
• Nylon gutters: Very flexible and resistant at the same time.
• Stainless steel troughs: Environments with high exposure to chemicals and corrosion
