Hiding Bathroom Plumbing Pipes


All exposed plumbing fixtures look bad and can ruin that perfect design you surely want inside your bathroom. Many homeowners just decide that this is the way it has to be when the truth is there are so many ways in which exposed pipes can be hidden. If you are looking for a really neat bathroom interior, why not consider the different ideas mentioned below by Fix It Right Plumbing in Frankston.


Box In Pipes

When you have problems replacing existing fixtures with some that include concealed pipework because of a lack of money, a solution is definitely to box in those plumbing pipes. You do not need a lot of experience and skills in order to do this alone. You will need to get nails, a measuring tape, a saw, hammer and wood.

It needs to be mentioned that when pipes are present at really low level, the box that you create can be used as a really useful shelf. This means you get some extra storage space. The last option that you do want to seriously consider is to paint the pipes so they match the wall’s color. This is going to make the entire décor more connected.


Replace Your Bathroom Furniture

This is one of the simplest ways in which you can hide a bathroom’s plumbing pipes. There are so many different options that can be considered. You can easily take a look at an online furniture store and see what would match.

One option that you may want to take into account is the cistern unit. It is created in such a way that it would be useful with toilets built on a back-to-wall system. Pipework and cisterns are practically hidden right inside cistern units. A big advantage of using these is that you can easily clean them while the finish is quite neat. You even get access to extra storage space.


Fake Walls

In many cases you will quickly figure out that the pipes running around walls cannot be properly boxed in. If you still want to conceal them, adding some plasterboard walls right in front of the wall you have can stand out as a wonderful solution that is definitely cost-effective. It is particularly useful when the space you have available is larger.

The only problem with the fake wall is that it is more difficult to build than when boxing in pipes. This is why it is a very good idea to use the services of a really good constructor. Then, you may need to work with a plumber that would move your toilet and basin for a perfect fit against your brand new wall. Obviously, whenever electrical work is also necessary, contact one that can move lights, plugs and so on.


Final Thoughts

As you can easily notice, it is not at all difficult to conceal the pipes that are present in your bathroom. There are many other options available than those mentioned above but these right here are pretty useful and should be considered first because of how easy they can be implemented.
