Hi
Can somebody offer me 'cosmetic' advice for the following circumstance.
I have a radiator positioned mid point on my wall with a drop feeding it, please see (A) in the image. The pipes are very ugly and am looking for ideas to tidy things up somewhat. The floors are solid - concrete i think but they look they are coated in something (its black); again not sure if this is relevant
My first idea is (B) which is basically move the pipes to the corner of the wall and box in. This initially sounds great but the horizontal (Hz) pipe feeds to the radiator still become an eyesore. I have contemplated replacing the Hz copper feed with chrome pipework - not sure if this a 'goer' tho. I also believe that the two Hz pipes would look ugly sticking out of the boxing in.
My 2nd idea (C) is to chase the solid floor and run the Hz pipes to the radiator. But in doing this, this pipework would now be the lowest point in the system - so how would i go about adding a drain off valve.
I am more than happy to chase walls etc - as would rather spend a few hours now grafting than have to live with visible pipes on a daily basis.
Has anyone else got any tips/ideas !
Thanks for reading this far
