Need some decent looking fixings or screw caps, any ideas?

[kilo_4que]

Hi guys, I was wondering if anyone can help please.

As many of you know I am doing a massive DIY job where basically I am renovating my new business premises. Finally it is coming to an end where I have the final "room" to complete which is the toilet/restroom.

Previously there was an extractor fan fixed to a chipboard panel bodged up so obviously I had to replace this with something. Bare in mind everything is stripped and renewed i.e. the whole walls stripped to the core, ceilings ripped out everything. I removed the chipboard panel and realised why it was there in the first place as the hole made for the previous extractor fan was very large so needed covering up.

Now I am wanting to cover it up again with some WR MDF nicely cut to size with smooth curved edges however I was wondering what fixings I can use to make it look good. By the way a new extractor is to be fixed to this new panel. I was wondering whether to use chrome screw caps or something, if so can yo uget them from screwfix?

Any help would be great

thanks

I have had great trouble trying to find decent screw caps and will share this site with you.

hey thanks for the link Mr b,

I was wondering, how do these fix on?

I know of the chrome bullet head type screw caps which simply screw into a compatible screw head

Screw goes through the bottom part and the cover snaps over the top.

lol problem is i only need 4 and here is a box of 100, what would i do with the rest and besides arent these a little too cheap for 100 pieces,

 

[Bilioustrumpstaine]

Yeah, had the same problem, they have a minimum charge of £10 plus £6 carriage

But on the upside you will never run out

I asked for stockists but they only supply to end users (apparently)

what about these, obviously in better quality but these type would have been easier to fit i think and look as smart as the other ones

That type is readily available but I needed plastic, specifically white, for a job.

You can get mirror head screws that look quite smart.

Like these.
