Installing a water heater is an extensive practice in private homes and apartments. Fan shutdown of hot water supply does not suit 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 a boiler in the toilet
First of all, you should decide on the installation location of the device: for this, the kitchen and the bathroom are best suited. Geysers and boilers are usually placed in the kitchen, since 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.
It is best to place an electric boiler near the pipe wiring, reducing heat loss.
How to hide the device:
- Drywall. At the same time, it is important not to install the panels closely so that there is room for ventilation. Provide a door to access 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 volumetric tank of accumulative type, 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 create a cabinet yourself. Be sure to varnish wood panels. 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 indoor space, you can build a niche. Installation is carried out over the toilet bowl or in another place. You can sew a niche with plastic, but it is best to install a door. Plastic is mounted on 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 conceal space, provide convenient access to the device. You can install the blinds on all sides or only in the front to save space.
With limited space, choose a horizontal storage model. Install it under the ceiling.
Choose an instantaneous water heater for installation in a cramped room. They are compact, and when choosing the right power they can provide several sampling points. There are also such devices that are mounted directly on the mixer. Therefore, the correct placement primarily depends on the choice of technology.
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 suitable design and glue the surface of the case. So the technique will not be striking and will fit perfectly into the interior.
- When choosing furniture in the kitchen order a separate cupboard for the column. In 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 a closet, but at the same time it will be ventilated and cooled.
