what me and Kev are on with

[Thespanishtiler]

thought you guys may be interested to have a look at the current job we are on with

I used wedi scored board to make the enclosure as the moltoromo units where too expensive.

kevs tiling is bringing the job together and we are pleased with the look so far

Are there rods inside those curved panels ?

 

[Ian]

That looks cracking mate, was the curve hard to do? (With the boards not the tiles!)

 

[user123]

I really like those curved shower enclosures, looks nice - but the ceiling, will that remain painted?

 

[Dan]

Thanks for the pictures! Nice work so far there mate. A possible JOTM winner maybe?!

 

[kilty55]

nice spanish,do you use the wedi fibreglass roll(forgot its proper name sorry) to wrap round that and reinforce it?

only ask as im doing a curved bath front in glass the same idea/method

 

[Spud]

I always enjoy seeing your work as its always first class, look forward to seeing it finished

 

[Thespanishtiler]

the front profile of the tray was scribed to the correct circumferance and the first scored board glued and shtecked to it and the floor, the boards are spanked to the back wall and glued.

scores are filled with spf and joints tapped, i then render the face to give me a nice curve

following layers are shtecked together, glued and spf'ed

internaly there will be a flat boxed panel for the shower feed and control (i'lux)

the internal joints are taped and tanked (benfer skrim)

never had to add any rods or similar to give support, there will be a 300 glass panel to the end of the curve and this has a support arm to the back wall.

as for the cieling I dont know what they will do with it ?

 

[peckers]

only ask as im doing a curved bath front in glass the same idea/method

only along joints running between boards

for a curved bath panel i make a ply former to the requiered shape, lay the scored board over it and then fill the grooves with spf and trowel to a smooth finish. take off former when cured. for glass i would go over with a palm sander whilst on the former

 

[kilty55]

Looking great.. lovely pics ..

Get him to stagger the sheets in future.. is my small tip..

that will look the biz when done..

 

[kaharrison9]

Vertically the sheets are staggered and often cut the mosaic sheet in both directions to tweak the trav on the net
