6 pcs.Operating principle
The ceramic insulator is used as a mechanical support and separation element in open wiring installations. It is attached to the wall or ceiling, while the braided electrical wire is routed through the designated mounting points.
The insulators are positioned along the planned wire route and help maintain a consistent distance between the wire and the wall or ceiling surface. This type of installation is characteristic of visible retro-style electrical wiring.
Open wiring installation:
The wires are not concealed inside the wall. They are routed along the surface and secured to ceramic insulators, making the electrical installation a visible part of the interior.Designed for braided wires
The insulator is designed for use with braided wires intended for open retro wiring installations. Such wires are normally left visible and become part of the overall interior design.
- suitable for surface-mounted wiring;
- for routing wires on walls;
- for routing wires on ceilings;
- helps maintain an orderly wire route;
- matches retro-style electrical installation elements.
Important regarding wires:
Use only wires specifically suitable for open electrical installations and other compatible electrical installation components. A decorative wire appearance alone does not mean that the wire is suitable for a permanent electrical installation.Ceramic construction
The insulator is made of ceramic, which is used for insulating and decorative elements in open electrical installations.
- ceramic construction;
- electrically non-conductive material;
- hard and stable construction;
- glossy decorative surface;
- dark brown colour complements classic interiors.
Dark brown colour and retro design
The dark brown colour gives the insulator the appearance of traditional ceramic and allows it to be used as a visible design element of the electrical installation.
- suitable for classic interiors;
- matches vintage-style finishes;
- suitable for country houses and restored buildings;
- can be used in loft-style interiors;
- matches braided retro-style wires.
Ceramic insulators can be combined with retro-style switches, socket outlets, junction boxes and braided wires. This allows a consistent visible electrical installation system to be created.
Recommended installation every 0.5 m
It is recommended to install the insulators approximately every 0.5 m.
- helps maintain a straight wire route;
- reduces wire sagging between mounting points;
- helps maintain a uniform appearance of the installation;
- allows neat horizontal and vertical wire routes to be created;
- additional mounting points may be required at bends or near equipment.
Mounting distance:
0.5 m is a recommended distance. The actual positioning of the insulators should be selected according to the wire route, bends, wire type and the requirements of the specific electrical installation.Technical parameters

Practical application example
For example, a visible retro-style lighting installation is to be installed in a wooden country house. The planned route of the braided electrical wires is marked on the wall.
Ceramic insulators are mounted along the route approximately every 0.5 m. Additional mounting points may be used at bends, near switches, socket outlets or other installation components.
The braided wire is routed according to the planned route, while the dark brown ceramic insulators also become visible interior design elements.
Use according to needs
For homeowners: allows a visible retro-style electrical installation to be created, becoming part of the interior.
For country house owners: complements wooden walls.
For interior designers: the insulators can be combined with braided wires, retro switches, socket outlets and other visible installation elements.
For electricians: it is important to properly plan the wire route, the number of mounting points and use wires specifically suitable for open installations.
For installers: the wall or ceiling material should be assessed and suitable insulator and wood screw mounting selected.

Installation instructions
- Plan the wire route. Mark where the braided wires will be routed along the walls or ceiling.
- Mark the insulator locations. Approximately 0.5 m spacing is recommended on straight sections.
- Plan additional mounting points. They may be required at bends, near switches, socket outlets or junction boxes.
- Check the mounting surface. Assess the wall or ceiling material and its suitability for the wood screws being used.
- Disconnect the power supply. If working on an existing electrical installation, the circuit must be safely disconnected.
- Secure the insulator. Insert the wood screw through the central hole of the insulator and secure it to the surface.
- Do not overtighten the wood screw. Secure the ceramic insulator firmly, but do not apply excessive force.
- Install the remaining insulators according to the planned route.
- Route the braided wires through the prepared mounting points.
- Check the entire route. The wires should be neatly positioned and all insulators securely fastened.
