Concrete panels on bathroom walls?

[Jonathanb]

Hi, my first post on here. I am looking at fitting thin concrete panels on my bathroom and shower wall. Has any one used them before?
The ones I was looking at are either Concreate or https://livingconcrete.co.uk/concrete-panels
The livingconcrete type say you can use them on a wall by fixing with tile adhesive but not much more imformation.
The Concreate say they need to be glued to the wall, but does not mention if they can be fitted with tile adhesive, spacers and grout.
P.s I’m not a tiler, I’m a carpenter
Cheers
John.

A sample just gives the indication of the colour and really is no reflection of the nuances of the complete tile be it whatever size
Then you have 2 options
Showrooming - Wikipedia - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Showrooming
or
Research online, purchase offline - Wikipedia - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Research_online,_purchase_offline
🙂

There’s not many local stores for me to visit, CTD, Topps tiles, discount tiles and the local sheds.
What I will do is soon as I find a couple of samples I like I will order a full size tile or two. I won’t order a full bathrooms worth of tiles from just a small sample.

Cheers

Found these ones at CDT, just waiting for the samples now. May gave up on the concrete panels. The 1200x600 and a couple of the patterned ones mixed in

If you’re looking at porcelain,
Check these out, I know this company personally and I’m on their approved contractors list.
First ones are 1200 x 600
Second 1800 x 900 (these are very effective.)

They’ll send samples on request.
Speak with Ray (the owner) and tell him you’re a forum member, he’s very helpful.

Thanks, I looked at them. I will order a couple of samples. I’m sure I seen a clip on YouTube where they are cut with a glass cutter.
The 1200x600 I would have a go at fitting, the 1800x900 would be a bit too much for my first attempt..

Where’s my manners! 😕
Of course you can also try one of our sponsors
Brooke Ceramics, not sure what ranges they carry but will be well worth a look I’m sure.
They’re listed below this thread.

Oh you’ve already seen them, kool.
And yes that’s the people with the glass cutter. 🙂

I have just emailed Porcel-thin for some samples. I will have a look at the site sponsors too.

Cheers John...

Johnathan, with the amount of effort you’re putting in to your research, you deserve all the help we can give. 🙂
