During repair work in the kitchen the question always arises: “How to hide gas pipe in the kitchen?" And this problem is inevitable, because even the most refined and unusual interior a trivial pipe can ruin it - a mandatory element gas system.
In this article we will look at possible options way out of the current situation.
All the “splendor” of the gasification system on your walls
However, you shouldn’t despair, because you have to solve not the most difficult design problem.
There are several solutions to this problem:
- Cover the gas pipe with furniture. Order special furniture for kitchens with voids, for example, a wall cabinet.
In this case, the pipe will be visually hidden in the cabinet, but access to it will be unhindered. - Order or make a false cabinet yourself, i.e. a kind of box for a gas pipe, the role of which will be exclusively aesthetic.
This method is also convenient in that it does not block access to the main elements of the gas system, and this is prerequisite on safety precautions. - You can also use hanging metal screens(such screens are used to hide ).
- As an economical option, paint gas pipes paint in a color that will match the color of the walls in the kitchen. Thus, unattractive pipes will not stand out so clearly against the background of the kitchen wall.
A little silver paint and the gas pipe doesn't look so boring
There are other ways. Let's take a closer look at the most successful of them.
Before installing any decorative items, be sure to consult with gas service specialists, because not all materials are safe.
Also, under no circumstances should gas pipes be tightly closed, but the whole point is that in the event of a possible leak, gas will accumulate in the space between the wall and the artificial wall, and then an explosion is inevitable.
Plasterboard box
Unattractive pipes very often hinder the creation of an ergonomic interior, as they can interfere with the arrangement of the desired kitchen furniture and household appliances. Solving the “” problem is quite possible. The most popular option for masking a gas pipe is to install a special masking box made of plasterboard.
Let's take a closer look at the process of creating such a box.
For the work you will need the following materials and tools:
- plasterboard sheets (preferably from moisture-resistant material),
- vertical profile,
- electric screwdriver,
- self-tapping screws,
- metal scissors.
You can buy everything you need at any construction supermarket, this is not a problem today.
So, the procedure is as follows:
- First, we determine the exact size of the future box, because our goal is to securely close the pipes, but if necessary, provide access to them.
- We install vertical profiles in the required places, and then measure the distance between them.
- Next, we draw blanks on sheets of drywall and carefully cut them out with metal scissors.
- Using self-tapping screws, we fix the workpieces between the fixed vertical profiles.
- If there are unevenness or cracks at the joints, be sure to eliminate them - any polyurethane foam, and carefully remove its excess.
Congratulations! The main part of the work has been completed.
Now all that remains is to decorate the front side of the box, and the finishing options can be very diverse. The most important thing is that the design is in harmony with the interior of the kitchen space.
The advantages of this finishing method are as follows:
- relative ease of installation of the structure,
- its aesthetics.
Disadvantages of plasterboard boxes:
- a loss usable area premises, but for small kitchens every millimeter of free space matters.
- are violated general rules safety precautions, because gas pipes must certainly be in the public domain.
- when repairing or replacing communications this design will be dismantled.
Wardrobes and wall cabinets
“How to close the gas pipe in the kitchen?” — this question often comes up in various construction forums.
We suggest camouflaging pipes using wall cabinets that do not have back walls. Moreover, vertical pipes can be hidden behind cabinets, and horizontal pipes can be placed along the shelves of kitchen cabinets.
Furniture companies that make custom-made kitchen units always take into account the communications running in the customer’s premises when designing and make special pencil cases and cabinets that successfully mask gas pipes.
But if you don’t plan to purchase a set, you can make wall cabinets yourself.
Note!
Never use gas pipes to secure wall cabinets!
It should be noted that completely unaesthetic and bulky counters can also be hidden in kitchen cabinets. The most important thing is to create or select a design that fits perfectly.
Note!
It is not advisable to place a geyser in such cabinets, because then you will have to provide impressive ventilation.
And even such an unusual disguise option
In some panel houses gas tap is installed at a height of seventy-five centimeters from the floor, so most often it ends up under the countertop. Some craftsmen design a removable tabletop.
In this case, it is very easy to get to the tap, and a hole is made in the countertop itself directly above the tap and the structure in it is as follows: a handle to which a pipe is attached. A cut is made on the bottom of the pipe, which is put on the valve.
It turns out that using a handle is quite easy to turn off the valve directly from the countertop. Take a close look at the photo below - White spot to the left of the pipe - this is the handle. So unusual option masking the gas pipe, however, does not violate generally accepted standards, and therefore will not cause any comments from strict gas workers.

- It is prohibited to replace pipes and other elements of the gas pipeline yourself. This must be done by a qualified specialist.
- Pipelines need to be painted. A layer of paint prevents metal corrosion and extends the life of the pipeline.

The nuances of masking pipes over furniture
Not every user knows how to hide pipes in the kitchen if they are at a height. In this case, a shelf is fixed under the gas pipeline and various kitchen utensils are installed there. Such items will hide utility lines from prying eyes, but the installation of the shelf must be carried out with special care so as not to accidentally damage the pipeline. The pipe itself must be hidden against the background of the wall; it is painted the same color as the enclosing structure.

Question: how to hide a gas pipe in the kitchen? Answer: There are several ways to do this, each of which has its own advantages and disadvantages. Below in the article we will talk about them in full detail, taking into account the most important details.
Gas pipe in the kitchen: can it be improved?
Let's start right away by agreeing that a gas pipe is currently installed in the kitchen of every second Russian family. It is also in apartment buildings, both in private premises (cottages), and in those places where there is urgent need to install it. A gas pipe makes it possible to gain direct access to gas, thanks to which you can not only cook food, but also heat the perimeter of the room into which it is supplied.
The only problem with the gas pipe is its appearance. It can easily ruin the interior of any kitchen if it is not positioned correctly and is not properly combined with the style of the room. Therefore, in this case, you should initially clearly determine for yourself which layout of the kitchen space to give your preference during the renovation. As a result, you will certainly find the right solution for how to best hide gas pipes.
There are many options for masking a gas pipe in the kitchen. Below we present the main ones that are in demand among Russian families today.
Kitchen furniture as an element of camouflage
Perhaps the most popular option for masking a gas pipe in the kitchen is the method of covering the equipment using kitchen furniture. This option is considered quite convenient. In practice, this is achieved by closing the gas pipe with a cabinet, access to which, upon completion of the repair, can be further limited by, for example, hanging a lock.
True, here you should also remember that access to the gas pipe will be required in the near future, since most often it is installed together with a meter, thanks to which the energy consumption indicators for a certain period of time are verified.
Moreover, fast access to the gas pipe and meter without additional restrictions in the form of a lock is the right decision in terms of compliance with safety regulations.
In any case, the optimal solution for closing the gas pipe in the kitchen is the method of built-in furniture, where it will, in fact, be placed in the future. It is worth considering that the wall cabinet (pencil case) should not have a back wall for obvious reasons.
Drywall
The next option for masking a gas pipe, discussed in our article, will be the method of closing it using a plasterboard structure. This method is no less common among Russian families than the previous one. Its advantages are as follows: saving time on repairs and material resources for purchasing building materials, ease of installation, aesthetic component.
Visually, when the kitchen renovation is completed, this option looks quite beautiful: the fact is that it is almost invisible where the gas pipe runs in the kitchen. True, this can also be attributed to the disadvantages this method. Due to the fact that with this option the gas pipe in the kitchen is almost invisible, compliance with safety regulations is violated.
In this case, the person is deprived of the ability to quickly access the equipment. Small area kitchen space, when choosing this option, may lose a significant amount of free space, since the usable area is blocked due to the installation of drywall.
Chipboard box
And yet, how to close the gas pipe in the kitchen if the area of the kitchen space is quite small and you have to save significantly free space within the room? This is where the next option comes to the rescue - the camouflage method by installing a chipboard box.
The advantages of this method are the lightweight material design and ease of installation. It should also include significant savings as an advantage. Money, since the cost of purchasing material and improvised means for future repairs will not hit the pocket of the average Russian family too much.
It is worth noting that this option for masking a gas pipe in the kitchen is most often used if the gas equipment is installed fairly close to the stove.
Decorative elements
The fourth option in our list of camouflage methods for closing a gas pipe within a kitchen area will be this type of layout when all types of known types are used during the repair process decorative materials. Here it is immediately worth paying tribute to the fact that this option is suitable for those people for whom imagination plays an important role in life.
The existing design of a kitchen where a gas pipe is installed that needs to be hidden from view can be easily improved if you choose the right way to disguise the equipment. In this case, almost everything that a person’s imagination can invent is used. Is it original to close the gas pipe in the kitchen?
For a person with a good imagination, such a question will never be a hindrance. In this case, you can cover the gas pipe with stone, wood, plastic, pipes with a bright and attractive appearance (for example, chrome-plated), magnets and other elements that are widely used in interior design different types premises.
What should not be forgotten during the renovation process, if this camouflage option was chosen, is that ultimately the kitchen interior matches the updated gas pipe and its design does not catch the eye (in the negative sense of this expression).
Dye
The last method in the list of options for masking a gas pipe in the kitchen, which our article can offer, is perhaps the most economical method known to many owners. How to disguise a gas pipe in the kitchen if you have very little money? Make a choice in favor of paint.
Paint (if we compare its cost and the cost of purchasing building materials for repairs using all the above methods) is the most cheap way camouflage. Here you should pay attention only to the choice of paint color, so that in the end it will be combined with the already created interior of the kitchen space. The paint color is selected based on the shades of the furniture, walls, etc.
Nevertheless, I would like to give this method its due: if you try hard and use your imagination to the fullest, then even with the help of paint you can disguise the gas pipe in the kitchen in such a way that it will be very original.
Remember that even in this case, you will still have to shell out some minimum amount of money for the purchase of additional building materials (fibreboard, chipboard, drywall, etc.), but this is optional.
What is railing?
There is another method of masking a gas pipe within the kitchen, which, however, is considered not as widespread as all 5 of the above options. It's about about railing. How to hide a gas pipe in the kitchen for families with unusual type kitchen layout?
Railing is a method that is not widely used due to the fact that its use is not suitable for all types of kitchens. In rare cases, the gas pipe in the kitchen may run along the entire perimeter of the wall. In this case, it is usually installed at a level between the countertop and the cabinets. In this way, a kind of suspension system is created.
The railing method allows you to use this arrangement of the gas pipe as structural element systems. In this case, the gas pipe is masked with available building materials, which makes it possible to subsequently adapt it as a functional element for installing additional shelves, hooks and dryers, various household supplies and other useful things in the kitchen.
Aesthetically, this design option is in no way inferior to any other. known method. Vice versa, this method benefits largely due to a number of its advantages and functionality.
Safety rules during kitchen renovations
During the process of renovation in the kitchen, when the decision was made to disguise the gas pipe, due attention must be paid to the following aspects:
- Carrying out repairs to mask a gas pipe is only possible if, as part of its implementation, all details regarding safety regulations that should be followed to avoid negative consequences in future;
- if you need to move the gas pipe to fully comply with the new layout of the kitchen space, thought out to the smallest detail, then in this case this moment should be further agreed with the relevant services to avoid negative consequences in the future;
- When the previous two points have been taken into account and properly observed, even in this case it is worthwhile to approach the repair process with extreme caution.
How to close a gas pipe in the kitchen in compliance with all safety regulations? Remember that renovations in the kitchen to disguise the gas pipe are best left in the hands of professionals. Spending on ordering the services of professionals cannot be called unnecessary when it comes to potential danger, when the risk of loss human lives increases significantly.
It must be remembered that in apartment buildings you and your family members guarantee the safety of the lives of your neighbors, while in country house such a risk also exists.
We have all long been accustomed to some integral elements of the kitchen space that no longer surprise us, we simply do not pay attention to them.
But during the renovation process, we suddenly notice how ugly they look in the interior of the kitchen space. We are beginning to worry about issues related to decoration, which we do not often encounter. What are we talking about?
We are talking about gas pipes through which natural blue fuel is supplied to cooking ovens. We've gotten used to them, that's for sure.
But no matter what you do, it is the gas pipes that primarily spoil the appearance of the kitchen, and it doesn’t matter what stylish and sophisticated design was used. Even standard traditional furniture cannot change anything.
Gas pipe decoration options
But professional designers are not asleep; today they are ready to offer several unique decoration methods that will answer the question of how to hide gas pipes in the kitchen.
Wall cabinets
This is the most common and simplest method that answers the question of how to close a gas pipe in the kitchen. Furniture today is becoming the kind of object in which pipes can be hidden.
For this purpose, wall cabinets that do not have a back wall are usually used. This option is very convenient.
Plasterboard construction
How to close gas pipes in the kitchen using plasterboard sheets? This question worries many people today. Because this method is simple and inexpensive.
To do this you will need to purchase:
- Moisture-resistant drywall (namely, moisture-resistant);
- Self-tapping screws;
- Wall metal profile;
- Screwdriver and metal scissors.
The entire structure must be designed in the style of a box. I mean, it's clean decorative element, with which the gas pipe is simply closed.
There will be accessibility to it, so there are no safety violations here.
How is installation carried out? plasterboard box?
- First of all, you need to install the frame from metal profiles. That is, “U”-shaped structures made of metal profiles are installed on the wall along the pipe and secured to the wall with self-tapping screws. There will be several such structures, and they must be positioned along the height of the pipe.
- For rigidity general design it is necessary to connect the U-shaped elements to each other with sections of profiles. And only after this can you cover it with plasterboard, which is cut into certain parts corresponding to the dimensions of the sides of the future box. Pieces of plasterboard sheets are attached to the frame with self-tapping screws.
- Everything is ready, you can move on to finishing. But first you need to treat the surface and joints of the box with a primer and putty solution. After which all surfaces are brought to the maximum level of evenness and smoothness (using sandpaper). Now you can finish the entire structure (photo above), that is, paint, glue wallpaper or ceramic tiles. It's up to you to decide.
It is very important here to choose the finish of the plasterboard box so that it is in complete harmony with the interior design of the kitchen as a whole.
This is one of the most simple ways, which answers the question whether it is possible to close the gas pipe in the kitchen. But I would like to make one small digression.
Please note! Decorating a gas pipe in the kitchen using drywall has one drawback. It will be especially relevant in small kitchens.
Such a box is stolen usable space premises, plus during renovation work it is usually dismantled (especially when communication systems in the kitchen are replaced).
Decoupage gas pipe
If you are not satisfied with either wall cabinets, nor a plasterboard box, then you can go a completely different route. For example, simply paint the pipe in a color that matches the shades of the walls.
This way you can visually hide the communication element. True, this option does not always help.
Railings on the gas pipe
What are roof rails? This special devices, with the help of which kitchen utensils, equipment and accessories are placed on wall surfaces.
These are varied in form and execution:
- hooks for napkins;
- towels and other things;
- shelves for jars;
- boxes;
- vase.
But don't get this wrong. When answering the question of how to decorate a gas pipe in the kitchen, we do not mean that all these devices will be hung on the pipe.
They will be mounted on the wall, but near the pipe. So that the little things hung on them partially cover it.
Therefore, the culprit herself will first have to be prepared.
- Sand well using sandpaper or any other tool. What is important here is the final result - a metallic shine.
- The surface is covered with chrome paint.
But now you need to think about how to position the roof rails so that they create the illusion that they are attached to the pipe. In principle, there is nothing complicated, your imagination will tell you everything.
