Horizontal Multipanel

[Cobby]

Hi All,

 

Can I please get some advice/thoughts/opinions for using Multipanel horizontally?

 

We are fitting out an ensuite (1.9m x 1.7m) and are keen to use Multipanel or a similar product. Our roof is 2.6m high, so a standard sheet is going to give a 200mm gap. To avoid using the 'H' joiner and giving an ugly joint around the room, I thought turning them on their side and stacking them to get the required height. The would mean the hydrolock would be horizontal. 

 

Does this work? Has anyone done this before? Any other suggestions?

 

Many thanks,

 

Matt

We have multi-panels in our bathrooms but not set up in the manner you are enquiring about. That said, if it were me, having to choose between a horizontal H joint/lock running around the "middle" of the shower area and a 200mm [2cm] gap running along the top, I would be going for the gap at the top every time. I feel it would be aesthetically the better option and also the best option for peace of mind etc., as I would be very surprised if there was to be any water accessing the panels at that height, whereas with a horizontal H joint????????????

I would avoid running horizontally.  If it is a wet room you could have a seamless floor running up the wall by 200mm.

 

I doubt you can easily fill the 200mm at the top with the same material without it looking bad.  Maybe some coving to cap the top and with LED uplighters?  Might be naff though...

I did one of ours horizontally, but a completely different situation:

 

 

In this case the wall ends low due to being room in roof, and there was less than 1200mm between the top of the basin and where the wall becomes sloping ceiling.  So putting it on it's side avoided a vertical joint, and there are 2 invisible horizontal joints either side of the vanity unit.

I do not see a problem with the gap.
