Boxing in pipes - unequal plastic angle needed

[Greekadventure]

I’ve got some horrible pipes I’d like hidden. I’m having new carpet fitted and I’d like something that can be fixed to wall and come down tight onto the carpet rather than for the carpet up to it.
A plastic unequal angle would work if I can find a way of adhering the edge of the profile to the wall (sealant maybe). They are expensive though, I’ve found ones but two lengths of 2.5m are nearly £70

As there’ll be cables hidden too I don’t want something permanently fixed to the wall / floor - hence the sealant / adhesive idea.

Any ideas please? The height on one is 100mm and the other 150mm. I need something that can accommodate 30mm deep.

How often are you going to need to get to the pipes/cables?

Watching with interest. I've bathroom pipes that need disguising.

I'm not suggesting you immediatly go to Amazon, but would hollow skirting board do the job for you??

Thanks, hollow skirting isn’t deep enough to accommodate the 30mm deep gas pipe.

I don’t need to access often but would need to have some access in case we need to unplug and move a TV - the cable for this would be also running through the void.

I'd add a wooden batten to the wall wide enough to accommodate the gas pipe, and one on the floor, then box in with skirting or mdf and paint. Either hinge skirting to batten or as few screws as you can get away with.

Fascia board? Comes in different heights https://www.pvcbuildingproducts.co.uk/150mm-white-floplast-capping-fascia-board---25m-length-53-p.html and the 42mm return leg should cover the 30mm pipe.

I am with @Hatfullofwillow I would just box it in and leave it so the screw heads are accessable for when you need to get into it. It will take minutes to unscrew if you need to get onto it and will be neat and protected from dust and stuff when you don't.

Could you use shallow fitted furniture (with the back cut out for access) to cover it? For example, IKEA Billy bookcases are shallow and you can get doors to fit them. They can also be painted.

Thanks all, the fascia board idea should work well so I’ve ordered a length of that. If that doesn’t work then we will look at boxing in. Cheers!

You can probably box in.

But by the time you have constructed it, primed it, painted it and taken into account your time, you probably won't be far off the original £70 you quote for the plastic.
