Those who carefully plan their plasterboard partitions, he can even use the space between the steel stand profiles for practical installations. Our building proposal shows, how it's done easily.

Of course, you could have hung the classic Allibert on the wall twice. But who likes to hit their head in the morning toilet?? The two cabinets, the space in this bathroom for toothpaste, Offer shower gel or perfumes and cream jars, are absolutely no obstacle, because they were simply let into the wall. That went, because the wall consists of a stand construction, the front of which is covered with a double layer of plasterboard. Even when setting up the steel stands from the Knauf system 112 the gaps between them had been designed for the subsequent installation of the wall cupboards. The two small cupboards and the lighting came first, after the bathroom had been tiled and the washstand with built-in washbasin had been completed in order to be able to use the full height of the wall surface behind the washbasin, the top of the cupboards was adapted to the slope of the gable wall, the space for this is cut out from the plasterboard. In front they protrude by about 1 cm beyond the wall surface. Then there are the doors with mirrors, that hit the body.

Create an enormous amount of storage space: this is possible with a stand construction. The sketch shows, that the distances between the sheet steel stands have already been aligned with the installation of the mirror cabinets. Who wants to make better use of the trapped space behind the plasterboard cladding, builds in large drawers. Their depth is limited by the sloping roof. Also a small storage room, accessible through a door, would be feasible at this point.

The plasterboard is cut out with the foxtail like this, that the field is limited on both sides by a sheet steel stand.
The cabinet body, cut to size in individual parts with the table saw, can be butt-connected with spax screws. The back wall of the cupboard, one 10 mm thick coated chipboard, is cut on top of bevel. It is screwed against from behind.
With four self-tapping screws each, screwed through the side walls into the sheet steel stand, you fasten the cabinets in the recesses. Mirror tape, tacked all around on the door front, gives the mirror a firm hold. Inserted hard fiber strips facilitate assembly.
The door hinges, previously aligned flush on the back of the door and the cabinet side wall, can now be connected to each other.

Nice and simple: Perforated panels for fluorescent tubes – The simplest solutions are often the best. That has been confirmed, when we were looking for inexpensive bathroom lighting. The result: Fluorescent lamps, which were provided with bevelled panels made of perforated aluminum sheet. Two thin welding wire ends serve as a suspension, which are bent into shape with pliers and latched into the perforated sheets.
