Just looking at the renovation process reveals that renovations can be quite cumbersome. While purchasing home renovation materials yourself might be manageable for those with some familiarity, for those new to home renovations, a trip to the building materials market can be a real hurdle. The copper wire and rigid wire used in home renovations generally refer to household electrical wiring. Here, we'll explain the advantages of each.
How should I choose copper wire for home renovations?
Common copper wires include BVR specifications. The conductor is composed of many strands of fine copper core wire. This is why it's called copper wire because of its flexibility. It offers four advantages:
1. Copper wire is relatively flexible, making it easier to thread through conduit, easier to maintain, and faster to install.
2. Copper wire has a larger cross-sectional area than rigid wire, resulting in higher conductivity and greater energy efficiency.
3. Copper wire, composed of many fine copper core strands, offers better heat dissipation and is therefore safer. 4. Copper wire has high purity requirements for the copper material, and the cost of counterfeiting can be very high, so you can buy with confidence.
How should you choose hard-wire for home renovations?
Hard-wire refers to the BV model, a single-core, single-cable cable. Because it only has one core, it is relatively hard. Hard-wire is sufficient for general interior decoration. If the cable is reliable and strong enough, its service life can last the entire house. However, be careful when purchasing, as hard-wire is easily counterfeited. Choose cables with CCC certification.
BVR copper wire and BV hard-wire, of different models and specifications, have different manufacturing processes, and naturally, their prices differ, often by more than double. This is why most home renovations choose hard-wire.
Thus, the quality of a cable has nothing to do with hardness or softness, but rather with the material and manufacturing process. When choosing wiring for home renovations, it's important to use different wires for different applications. This can reduce renovation costs and ensure safer circuits.
