Trunking for central heating

alirob12

Hi

I wonder if anyone can help. I have exposed central heating pipes, which i would like to cover using the pvc trunking. The biggest one i can find is 22 mm, width 68 mm x 35 height. this unfortunately is not big enough. I have tried getting bigger trunking but so far i have failed. Surely there is a bigger size if you can buy bigger clips and trunking?

Can anyone help? a photo of my pipes is here. Thank you

I'm no expert, but covering heating pipes with plastic trunking doesn't seem like a great idea. Plastic trunking is usually used to conceal cables. You would normally box pipes in.

The reason you can't find trunking big enough is because it's the wrong tool for the job.

Lots of different trunking for pipes bigger plumber merchants will do them falon, dline, talon, MT to name a few Depends what you’re looking for pipe location, style colour, finish type of pipe work you’re covering if you want insulation etc

Some go over some pipes sits inside?


If you can fit, cut, secure trunking you'd probably be able to do same with bit of batten up side plasterboard, plywood hardboard etc covering, plaster paint or fill and paint finish is often better looking and cheaper ?
