Installing a water heater is an extensive practice in private houses and apartments. Rolling shutdown of hot water supply does not suit the residents, and the boiler constantly provides hot water. If you do not know how to place a water heater in the toilet, we will tell you some useful ideas.
How to hide the boiler in the toilet
First of all, it is worth deciding on the installation location of the device: the kitchen and bathroom are best suited for this. Geysers and boilers are usually placed in the kitchen, as they require the installation of a chimney and ventilation. If you do not have free space, then you can try installing a water heater in the toilet.
The best time to place a boiler is repair.
An electric boiler is best placed near the piping, reducing heat loss.
How to hide the device:
- Sew up with drywall. At the same time, it is important to install the panels not close, so that there is room for ventilation. Provide a door for access to the control panel. If you sew pipes together with the equipment, install a hatch to access them. As a door, you can use a frame with glass, or choose a design, as in the photo below.
- If there is enough space in the toilet, you can order for a boiler cupboard. Keep in mind that for a volume storage tank, the technique will be impressive. The materials must be moisture resistant, and inside you can install a small shelf and hide household chemicals.
- You can build your own closet. Wood panels must be varnished. Furniture is assembled by fixing the structure with dowels to the wall. Attach the hinges on one side and install the door. When masking pipes, provide an additional hatch.
- With sufficient space in the room, you can build a niche. Installation is carried out above the toilet bowl or in another place. You can sew up a niche with plastic, but it is best to install a door. Plastic is attached to a frame made of timber or metal profiles.
- Another convenient way is installation of blinds. They can be installed in a niche instead of a door. They do not hide space, provide convenient access to the device. Blinds can be installed on all sides or only in the front to save space.
If space is limited, choose funded model horizontal type. Install it under the ceiling.
Choose instantaneous water heater for installation in a cramped room. They are compact, and with the right power they can provide multiple sampling points. There are also devices that are mounted directly on the mixer. Therefore, the correct placement primarily depends on the choice of technique.
How to hide a gas column:
- If the column is in the kitchen and does not fit into the interior, the easiest way out is self-adhesive. Choose a film of a suitable design and paste over the surface of the case. So the technique will not be conspicuous and will fit perfectly into the interior.
- When choosing furniture for the kitchen order a separate wardrobe for column. On the drawings, note that the furniture will be used for the water heater. Then the craftsmen will create a special design: there will be no lower bar, and instead of the usual blank door there will be a grill. So the product will hide in the closet, but at the same time it will be ventilated and cooled.
