corner sink + pipes
Reply with quote Thanks

Hi am wanting to replace my basin in my bathroom with a corner basin but the one i am looking at does not have a pedestal to hide the pipes. The house i live in its quite old so does not have any concealing walls for the pipes therefore does this mean i\\\'ll need to go for a pedestal again or are there ways and means around exposed pipes? any help would be greatly appreciated!!! icon_confused.gif icon_question.gif

you might also box in the pipes and tile the box (but make the fixing screw heads accessible).

The trap may be visible, but you can get a chrome bottle trap that isn't ugly.


BTW if you use chrome pipes and run them neatly, they look smarter
