Hello,
we currently have the pleasure of builders on site doing a new sun room for us. They are now asking for what and where our power points need to be ...
so before they actually lay the floor and proceed, I want to consider what actual future-proofing might be in order now so that we can easily upgrade and avail of new/future technology without digging up, or trailing unsightly cables around the new room.
So under the floor, I'm thinking to ask them to lay
* phone cable
* cable TV cable
* cable for connection to stereo/speakers
and terminate these with two wee 'blanking panels' of some description, so that if in the near future we decide how we want to have our equipment located - be it in the new sun room or in the existing house - we can easily plug in the relevant aspects and away we go ?
Assume I would go diagonally across the floor, from the corner nearest the current position of the Stereo.
Are there other considerations worth taking on board before they lay the floor - other cables ? coax ? I'm not convinced so far of the case for wireless connectivity in terms of performance - but this solution gives me a fall-back position anyhow.
Have any readers done something like this in the past ?
Does this make sense ?
What do i need to mention to the builders ?
All ideas welcomed ?
