Covering Pipes ..... wall mounted
2off vertical mounted 15mm dia for the radiator in the bathroom look
unsightly coming down the corner of the wall. So, Anyone got any suggestions other than knocking up a wooden box/cladding and painting it? |

Bit of a game making a neat job where it met the cornice. I believe I fixed it with frame sealant or some sort of overpaintable flexible sealant. If you can get suitable trunking and fit it to the wall properly all well and good. If you have to fit something larger like I did and seal it to the wall use something flexible to allow for thermal expansion |

Unless the pipes were installed with doing that in mind - ie, one pipe either side of the actual corner - the length of wall which bears pipes will extend quite a way from the corner, so it would need to be a pretty wide plate of wood to cover them diagonally, and would look pretty odd IMHO.

(Buildbase supplied) The problem with that one is the radius is quite large in comparison. I might try http://www.encasement.co.uk/productR...CORN ERGUARDS Ta Dave. Happy New Year |

I had the same problem in my lounge and I used 2" x 1" plastic trunking to box mine in with and it looks OK Trevor Smith |
