Hide pipes

clankk · 22 Oct 2013 at 23:31

Any ideas how to cover up CH pipes? Also anyone know a solution to hang curtains from ceiling? Don't see enough space above pipes to fit curtain rod and cover them.

Cant you just use the curtain rail wall brackets but turn them upwards and plug (proper plasterboard plugs) and screw them to the ceiling? Shrug.

You'd need to batten from above/ screw into studs for this to provide a decent hold.

Run the pipes in the ceiling/floor space?

Small boxing over them, use same paint, will look fine.

was hoping for a smart & elegant solution....don't fancy digging up the concrete floors. look into small boxing

You can buy something like this to just cap the pipes in. Once painted it wouldn't be to intrusive and its by far the easiest solution.

I would think of doing a curtain box of some sorts to hide it all.

I suppose if you don't mind losing some ceiling space you could frame up and install a floating ceiling. Overkill to hide 2 pipes though.
