Boxing in a boiler or housing a central heating boiler can be done using kitchen units, or spare parts from kitchen units so that it matches your existing kitchens look and feel. Boilers can be unsightly beasts but with a little thought they can be hidden away by either placing a full kitchen wall unit cupboard around them or using bits and pieces from kitchen end panels, plinth boards, old cupboard doors and even tongue and grooved matchboard.
The kitchen can look a great deal better and it is a relatively inexpensive project to complete with a few basic carpentry skills and a few tips and tricks of the trade which this project will teach you. Both of the above can be achieved by using flat-packed kitchen units and units built in a bespoke way for housing your boiler. Firstly, measure the boiler and choose a unit which will fit round and meet the conditions described above.
Put this unit together and place it somewhere near the boiler to see what adaptations you need to make to get it over the boiler.
There will be cuts round pipes and possibly timers etc. There will also be cut outs required to allow for the air to circulate. As you can see from the images below we have cut the top half of the unit away and 90mm off the bottom of the unit also. The right hand side of the unit has been fixed to battens on the wall to keep the unit away from the pipes. The unit has been kept off the back wall to allow for an air flow at the front of the boiler. This also has been done by fixing battens to the wall and the back has been removed from the unit.
