Removable bath panel - how?

[Tom JE]

Hi chaps,

i am in the final stages of fitting my bathrrom suite. I want to have the bath panel as easy to remove as possible. The instructions say to screw into place but i dont want the screw heads on show at all - the panel was really expensive. Has anybody got any good suggestions of fitting the bath panel using "invisible" fixings? Somebody suggested using strips of magnets, any idea where to get this from?

Thanks in advance

Tom

Have you considered Velco?

 

[WabbitPoo]

or even Velcro

 

[Tom JE]

No, i hadnt but i suppose it'd work just as well as magnets, and probably easier to get hold of too!

Cheers for that suggestion

Well spooted!

I think you might find Velcro a bit strong depending on the weight of the panel.

Try these,

whack all ten on and it will be solid but easy to take off.
I think velcro would last 1 removal at the most, and be hard to do anyway.
The panel won't bend so you'd be trying to seperate the entire length at once and velcro's pretty tough.

Just what I was thinking - how are you going to fix these to the panel? I was thinking you could glue a smallish timber frame to the inside of the panel, and another frame under the bath. Then fix the roller fixings to the two timber frames - would help to keep the panel straight as well.

What's wrong with mirror screws?

I didnt look at the picture properly, i thought the roller half would've fixed on the inside of the panel.

Mirror screws are a possibility, i dont suppose i'd need many.

You can buy flexible magnetic peel back strip

The best way is don't look at the pannel when you are in the bathroom, then you can fix it anyway you like.
