  • Another bathroom question...

    One corner of the bathroom is a hastily thrown up ikea cuboard thing, housing the washing machine and shelves for various things.

    As part of the renovation, i'm going to rebuild it in mdf, paint it and have it much more 'integrated' into the room.

    The question - one side of the cupboard would be perfect to fit a heated towel rail to. Would that be a stupid idea? Any issues with affixing one to it? The actual water pipes for it would come through the floor...

  • Not sure I would use MDF, given the first sign of moisture and it would swell. Any reason not to build out of thich ply? Would be more confident hanging a towel rail off ply as well.

  • I guess not - just always assumed MDF to be easier to work with in terms of building out cupboards etc. I suppose i could go full belt and braces and build a thin stud wall but i was just going to batten the back wall, attach and then cross brace with fixed shelves...
