Hide underfloor heating pump?

[snowjim]

Hello,

We have underfloor heating that extends between the hall and the toilet. The pump is located in the hall and previously it was built-in so that you could only access the temperature control from a hatch above. During the renovation, this was removed, so now the question is what we can cover it with so that we still have full access to the hoses and pump if needed.

This is what it looks like:

Why not a shallow cabinet that goes up against the window. It can even be a shoe cabinet, mounted with hinges to make the whole piece a secret door

Yes, some type of door would have been a good solution, but the question is what it would look like. It's still quite a large depth that the door needs to cover. Another option is to construct some type of L solution that is hung on 3-4 hangers on the wall under the window.

Here is a picture of how it looked before:



It looked good according to us, but the problem was that you could only open the small hatch on the top.

Build a custom cabinet where you cover the pump, etc. with a simple panel. Some shelves above for various items.

Make sure to get a moisture-proof base as well, looks like open wooden joists.

This sounds really good, I'll see if I can sketch something interesting with doors Thanks!

Make sure to get a moisture-resistant bottom as well, it looks like an open wooden frame

Not a bad idea! What kind of filler should be brushed on the bottom then?

You can build up with wood (boards) so it is tight, possibly a little caulk and paint with regular lacquer paint for wood. It is tight on the surface and will lead water out onto the floor outside so you can see that there is a leak.

Or a piece of plastic/linoleum flooring also works.
