Of course, no modern person can do without all these utilities, but these systems greatly spoil the aesthetics of the rooms. Therefore, the most correct solution is to camouflage them.
There are a great many ways to camouflage utilities in city apartments today – from false walls and decorative grilles to plumbing hatches. Invisible hatches that hide utility nodes are now manufactured in various sizes and configurations: you can choose a hidden hatch for tiles, with a removable door, or a sliding hatch.
Those who decide to create any structures for hiding utilities must know that there are certain rules and quite strict requirements for their creation. For example, only single-line utilities that have no bends or connections are allowed to be walled up completely. All the above-mentioned sections in communications are considered areas of maximum risk of rupture, so they can be camouflaged with subsequent accessibility. That is exactly what plumbing hatches are for.
A major headache for many owners of city apartments are utilities in the form of radiators and various pipes, which give living spaces a rather unaesthetic look. Besides their unattractive appearance, all these utilities pose a high risk of injury for small children and also complicate finishing work.
There are several permitted ways to camouflage all utilities in city apartments: creating a box of the required size from drywall sheets; embedding pipes directly into the wall; creating a false wall; decorative design with plastic panels or any overlay elements; using pipes as decorative elements.
Every owner can choose the most acceptable option from this list, however, it should be noted that the choice of a particular method must take into account the type of utility. The simplest method, at first glance, is to hide utilities in the walls. At the same time, one should not forget that pipes can suddenly start leaking, and in that case you will have to find the leak, which will require breaking the walls.
The best and most modern method is to create a box of the required size from drywall, and such structures gained great popularity only because drywall sheets are easy to install, bend, and are quite simple and quick to cut. Another advantage of drywall sheets is that they have a very reasonable price, and they also pair well with almost any type of finish.
