has anyone ever tried or know if its possible to hide radiator pipe work inside a honey comb partition wall like this?

Ive got a similar wall that has a space of about 35mm between 12.5mm panels each side.

I was thinking of cutting a channel out on one side of the partition and removing the cardboard inside, in order to conceal some radiator pipe work rather than box it in at floor level.

If this is do able what would be a good way of filling/leveling the channel before tiling over?

Thanks

Over that distance you will weaken the panel(s) and probably run across at least one very thin timber stud which you definitely shouldn't cut

Do you know if these kind of panels are designed with to carry any significant sort of load?
I always thought they were justa quick way of putting up a partition wall.
 
The panels (Paramount board) aren't load bearing. As you say, they are just a quick partition wall system.
 
no problem hanging a radiator onto it as long as you use the correct plasterboard fixings, by non load bearing he meant it is not holding the ceiling up
 
Just found this thread which looks like what im trying to achieve is do able...might just have to re think the direction that i route the pipes in.
