Attaching cables to the wall without drilling – is it a safe solution?
When the electrical installation is carried out in a newly constructed building or during a general renovation, cables and wires are normally installed under the wall or covered with cable trays, conduits or masking strips. This allows for the aesthetic concealment of the wiring, prevents the wires from tangling, significantly reduces the risk of mechanical damage and increases the level of safety for the users of the building. However, in existing buildings, it is often necessary to use non-invasive installation methods - which do not require drilling holes or plastering. Such situations occur, among others, in rented apartments and offices and at 
creating temporary systems or those intended for regular modifications. Attaching cables without drilling is quick and free from troublesome dust, and does not require a drill. It can be used as a permanent or temporary solution. When the installation ceases to serve its purpose, the cables can be dismantled without leaving unsightly holes in the walls.
Methods of attaching cables to the wall without drilling
Modern, non-drilling mounting systems available on the market provide safe, solid, fast and aesthetic installation of cabling. In practice, solutions such as self-adhesive strips, clips, bands or special cable holders for mounting in the gutter , which are suitable for use outside buildings, are often used. Each method has its advantages and responds to slightly different installation needs. When choosing a cable holder, remember that it should be about 1 mm larger than the diameter of the cable being installed.
Self-adhesive cable holders
With the help of adhesive holders, you can attach cables to the wall in a very simple, quick and non-invasive way. On one side of such a holder there is a strong but safe adhesive, and on the other a clip designed for mounting a cable or several thin wires. Before sticking the holder to the wall, the surface should be thoroughly cleaned.
Cable tie mounts
For easy attachment to the wall of not only cables, but also installation pipes, clamps are perfect. They can be glued to various surfaces: from plastered, through metal, to wood. A clamp is fed through the clamp, which is used to attach the cable. When buying only the "bases", you should also buy popular cable ties, which act as clamps. Complete solutions with integrated clamps can also be found on the market.
Cable edge holders
Running cables along the edges of walls, furniture or gutters may require special fastening solutions. To avoid drilling, it is worth reaching for special holders designed for mounting cables on edges. The edge holder slides onto the edge and the cables are fastened in the clip.
Cable mounting without drilling vs. mounting with drilling
Installing cables and wires may involve drilling holes in the wall to place cable holders in them. Don't worry, this is also a relatively simple task. However, it requires a drill-driver and the skills to use it. You will also need a hammer to drive and stabilize the cable holders in the holes. It is also worth taking care of personal protective equipment, such as work gloves and goggles. There are many types of holders to choose from for attaching cables and electrical wires.
