Everyone who has at least once carried out a full-scale repair in the apartment, probably imagines all the hardships of this process in the bathroom and toilet. Sometimes only one broken bricks has to carry out more than a dozen bags!
Aesthetics
It is known that in houses of the old Soviet construction in bathrooms sometimes there is such a bizarre web of pipes and gates that one simply does not have to talk about the beauty of these rooms. So how to hide the pipes in the toilet?
There are several methods that we’ll talk about today. Note that no matter what method of shelter you use, do not forget that convenient and quick access to the pipes should remain. After all, no one is safe from leaks!
How to do it?
To begin with, we will figure out how to hide vertically located water risers from a critical eye. Most often they are located behind the toilet, passing in a special gutter. In this case, disguising them is not difficult. To do this, in a niche, a frame is made of wooden bars or a steel profile on which drywall is attached. In general, closing the pipes in the toilet with drywall is the easiest. Therefore, we can recommend this method to beginners who are not too confident in holding tools.
Locker
Before you hide the pipes in the toilet, it is best to consider the option of mounting a kind of cabinet in this place. Remember how we talked about easy accessibility of pipes? Doors are made of wood treated with antiseptic compounds, which will not only provide a convenient approach to communications, but also will not offend even the most picky look.
Jalousie
But masking of pipes is not provided by lockers alone! Do not forget that we live in an age of limitless possibilities! You can use blinds to shelter utilities. Before you hide the pipes in the toilet, a special frame is also made on which the entire structure is mounted. Its many advantages are obvious: easy access for repairs and taking readings from hot and cold water meters, aesthetic appearance and ease of installation.
Waterproof chipboard
All of the above methods are not very suitable for some people who are engaged in repairs. As for drywall, not everyone loves it, considering it a "children's toy". Blinds can not be found in all the settlements of our large country. Therefore, the universal material for all complex cases is waterproof chipboard. We think it’s not worth telling why our choice fell on moisture resistant material? Since it is not too difficult to hide the pipes in the toilet with the help of a chipboard, we will dwell only on general aspects.
First of all, you need to make the same frame on which the chipboard will be mounted. Note that the entire structure should be done according to the type of cabinet, fixing the panels to hidden hinges. After completing the work, the cabinet can be decorated with adhesive film, which is more profitable from the point of view of ergonomics, since it can be washed at any time.
Thus, we have considered all the simplest methods, using which you can easily hide pipes in the toilet. Photos in our article will help with the choice.
