Layout

A standard kitchen set will not be able to satisfy all the requirements for masking a boiler, since the average dimensions of its drawers will not be able to accommodate such large equipment. In addition, the partitions of furniture structures are not protected from spontaneous combustion.

Decorative wall panel will help to hide the gas boiler communications.

Therefore, if you want to hide the unit inside the furniture cabinet, an individual approach is needed. In this case, you can count on making a camouflage box that will not only satisfy your aesthetic taste, but also be able to meet all safety requirements. Namely:

• Comply with the overall design of the kitchen;
• Have suitable overall dimensions, which leave sufficient clearances for good air exchange;
• Have fireproof partitions that guarantee protection against fire.

The gas boiler can be hidden in a separate box of non-burning materials that fits perfectly into the overall design.

If the gas boiler is located separately from the kitchen set and all communications that ensure the flow of water and gas are visible, then the best way to mask the equipment is to construct a canister. The following photos will give ideas of this design option.

Classic

The classical direction does not accept the presence in the interior of any household appliances. Therefore, the best way to design a boiler in this case is to disguise it.

• Creating a camouflage cabinet. The most suitable for this style and at the same time safe is a cabinet with a lattice door. He will demonstrate the style of the interior and does not violate safety. Camouflage box can be decorated with wallpaper to match the walls or paint.
• Decoupage or simply painting the boiler in the appropriate color will help solve the problem.

Loft

When designing an industrial style loft kitchen, an appropriate element of the interior can be both an un-modern bulky boiler and the latest generation equipment. This direction welcomes the display of all utilities: gas and water pipes, electrical wiring and other things.

Therefore, masking the boiler is not required. Moreover, its original selection and focus on its aesthetics is most inherent in this version.

High tech

High-tech style can not be imagined without innovative kitchen equipment. When creating an interior, you will need the latest generation boiler with the original lighting, with a chrome-plated shiny surface that resembles a spacecraft. Masking the boiler is not required, as is decoupage or staining.

The most acceptable option here is the ergonomic arrangement of this equipment next to other kitchen appliances to match it, and its neon glow will create a special mood and comfort in the room.
