My bathroom floor has pine floor planks which need replaced. The pipework to the basin taps runs under the floorboards.
I have been considering having the boards replaced with sheets of marine plywood, with floor tiles on top.
If I were to install a wall-hung basin with exposed chrome pipes going from the taps down to the floor, with pipe collars at the base (similar to photo), how would someone co-ordinate the correct drilling locations for these in the sheet to precisely where the pipes would meet the floor?
Even if it is possible to drill the holes in precisely the correct location, how would it then be possible to connect the vertical pipes to the underfloor elbow (since that would be under the plywood sheet)?
The same issue would apply to connecting up the radiator.
Maybe it's issues such as this why some keep this type of pipework above the floor.
