The technicalities

That also goes for the boiler flue as well. That’s where a tailored design comes in! This allows you to make more of the space, while still remaining practical and safe. 

Making the most of your boiler cupboard

Once you’ve decided that you want to encase your boiler, you need to decide how much space you have. This will determine the size of the cupboard housing your boiler and if you have room for space above or below it for storage. Once you’ve settled on the style that is going to best suit your needs, you can really begin making the most of the space. 

It’s also helpful at this point to decide what you’ll be storing in this cupboard. This can help you to decide whether you want a number of shelves put in, or if you’d like a bigger open space underneath the boiler to store bigger items such as your hoover or ironing board.
