steam shower seat/bench advice needed

[lara]

Hi,
Am after your expert advice. we are planning to instal a steam shower room. We would like to construct some sort of mosaic tiled curved bench. We know wedi do a `kit' of sorts but we're looking at approx £800, which is way too much. Any ideas? All help hugely appreciated. Lara

Hi you should be able to make one with LUX Element "EL SL" & "EL SQ" boards which are designed to make curves - in the Lux Elements catalogue it gives a photo of one they have made.
I estimate you could make 1200 wide bench for £150 - £200. The 50mm thick board can be stuck together to make 100mm thick - which if adequately supported will easily hold one or two people.

Sorry,

These seats are made from the same material as some of our insulation boards, it is constructed with a rigid extruded polystyrene core and has a alkaline resistant glass fibre reinforcement mesh encapsulated with a high polymer modified cementitious coating.

The design in the pictures is popular one that is sold but pretty much anything can be made to order for you. You can even include ufh to the seats and have a nice warm bum while sitting!!

Would the seats be suitable for outdoors? To be (partly) covered with artistic mosaics? Looking for a corner bench set up....

no problem with outside as material is fully waterproof. just ensure you are using the right adhesive for use outside.

Hi all,

The dimensions of each straight section are 1200mm each section consists of a base, seat and back rest. We would recommend fixing the units with an MS polymer adhesive, if the benches are free standing then cost would vary slightly as an additional timber frame would have to be built in for support.

The corner sections are expensive and an alternative would be to use 2 x straight sections and mitre them together which our supplier can do for you.

The prices below are meant as a guide price only. The best solution is to see a diagram of what you would like to achieve and we can then give a true costing. The price below does not include delivery to site.

Base £125.58
Seat £151.36
Back £123.05

Total £399.99 Inc Vat.

A corner Section will cost £1100, so using 2 straight sections and a mitre would save money and also easier to tile!!

If anyone is interested in something like this, if you can send me a plan with location i can get a proposal put together for you.

I have also attached a few diagrams which include a recliner seat which i am not sure if this is what Lara Wanted?

A little late on this post but another option is to get polystyrene cut in custom shapes, then apply render & mesh and then use mosaic tile.

This octagonal seat was finished in this way.

I've a steam room, with a simple rectangular cross section seat, mosaic tiled. In the corner, a curved shelf.
Both are made out of marine ply, covered with wedi and then tiled.
You could make any shape you like that way?!

I've posted pictures before - if you can find them on this site, earlier this year - but it's not working this time - I'll finish this and have another go.
