Do take note that you\u2019ll also have to remove the existing paint coat prior to painting &#8211; this is so as to prevent the paint becoming too thick, and resulting in it being difficult to open and close the door.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition to this, HDB home owners are allowed to mount features or fixtures on their bomb shelters, given that power driven nails are only used on the external face of the walls. Laying of floor tiles, linoleum, or vinyl flooring is permitted; however, in the case where floor tiles which are bonded to the cement mortar screed, the total thickness of the floor finish should not exceed 50mm.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>How to conceal or decorate bomb shelters<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><strong>#1: Wall planters<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-12052\" src=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/1-5.jpg\" alt=\"bomb shelter wall planters\" width=\"847\" height=\"607\" \/><\/p>\n<p>(<a href=\"https:\/\/www.homerenoguru.sg\/renovation-101\/bomb-shelters\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Credits<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These wall planters do double duty &#8211; they conceal your bomb shelter, and at the same time, add a bit of lush greenery to your space. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>#2: Wall decals<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-12053\" src=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/2-4.jpg\" alt=\"bomb shelter wall decals\" width=\"901\" height=\"620\" \/><\/p>\n<p>(<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hipvan.com\/blog\/43825285-6-ways-to-utilize-the-bomb-shelter-without-risking-your-life\" rel=\"nofollow\">Credits<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For a simple, low-cost option, use wall decals to decorate your bomb shelter door, and have it stand out instead of blending in. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The best part about this?
