In this video Olivier shows a simple way of fixing electrical cables to a ceiling quickly.

Nylon cable clips: quick, secure and tidy

Cable clips are the small item that decides whether a ceiling void stays workable. Made of nylon, they hold the cables where you want them without piercing the insulation layer, which is precisely where a careless fixing costs you the airtightness you have just built.

A material that holds up

Nylon resists corrosion, ageing, cold, ultraviolet light and fire, which is what makes it suitable for a fixing meant to stay in place for the life of the building. It suits electrical wiring, electronic components, air conditioning runs and consumer units alike.

Quick to use

The cable goes through the round opening in the clip and a screw tightens it. No special tool is needed, the job goes quickly, and the clips can be released and reused if the run changes later.

A fixing that stays discreet

The R-shaped clips are flexible, simple and unobtrusive, which matters in a void that may be opened again years from now. They hold without deforming and without ageing badly.

In short, nylon cable clips do one small job well: they keep the wiring tidy and the insulation intact. On a ceiling that has just been made airtight, that second point is worth more than it looks.
