Why you should not hide the heating pipes in the wall

Is there a ban on moving the heating system to an unsightly place, such as a wall? This question is asked by many people, some say it is possible, while others argue that such an action is strictly prohibited.

In fact, it is not forbidden by law to hide the heating system in the wall, and in practice this method of "getting rid" of the unaesthetic appearance of the apartment is quite common. Nevertheless, this option has its pros and cons. Of course, everyone wants to make their home cozy and beautiful, while removing all communication systems from a prominent place, but these actions are far from always reasonable.

There are not so many ways to “clean” the eyes of the heating system. Next, we present the most popular methods and consider their pros and cons.

Moving the heating system from steel to the wall

To do this, you need to pierce the wall in the wall and with the help of welding, the system is led into the wall and then it remains only to plaster. What consequences of such an action await you in the future? Unfortunately, nothing good. So after two or three years, such a wall, with almost a hundred percent probability, will crack. The temperature difference in a relatively small area will be within sixty degrees, as well as thermal expansion, therefore, oxidation will occur faster. Typically, the riser begins to rot at the joints, between floors. And in this case, the entire riser will be completely in the wall. And if the riser flows at the junction, then you will lose a lot of time before you find it, which is why it drips from the ceiling from the neighbors below. Then, after the cause is discovered, the heating system will need to be completely changed, first, of course, you need to get it out of the wall.

Moving the riser from plastic to the wall

Such a system is much easier to hide in the wall, no need to resort to welding, just make threads on the pipe. Corrosion does not threaten such a riser. Plastic pipes will last quite a while. But there are cons. Polypropylene pipes are characterized by very high rates of thermal expansion. And therefore, such heating systems, as a rule, are equipped with ring-shaped or p-shaped bends, but being in the wall, polypropylene will not be able to expand. Therefore, polypropylene pipes with limited strength when changing temperature and pressure in the central heating system are not the best option for heating risers.

Drywall and other decorative materials

You can hide the risers heating false walls and drywall. In the future, this will lead to one problem, it will be necessary to disassemble these decorative elements in order to repair the pipes.

Based on the foregoing, we can conclude that no one can forbid you to hide the heating pipes, but be prepared for what to pay for aesthetic beautiful view of the apartment, you will have with your nerves and a solution to the problem of how to change heating pipes without overhauling your apartments.
