I'm in the process of just starting to tile my bathroom with Travertine on the floor and some of the walls.
I'm fitting a concealed cistern, so will be mounting the cistern on the wall, boxing it in and then i want to tile over the box so that it blends in.
Obviously i need to leave an access point to the cistern for maintenance, but i'm struggling with how best to do that.
I want to tile the sides and the top of the box, and don't want any visible fixings holding on a removable panel.
I'd be very grateful for any suggestions or advice on how i could do it.
I have thought about making a drop in tile panel for top access where i bond the tiles onto a smaller piece of wood that then locates in a recess in the top of the box, making the panel the full size of the top of the box (which will only be about 200mm deep). But that would mean i couldn't grout the join along where the vertical tiles meet the top panel.
