wow! what did you make the curved wall with?

Not allowed to say on this forum
My plumber constructed it with a certain wet room system !

Though the particular brand of the stuff used to make that shower space may not be named (I think there's a sponsor here on the forums which sells such products, as Leatherface indicates), I can tell you of the type of material it most likely was made from; fibre reinforced extruded polystyrene boards.

There are several makes. They are made in many thicknesses, pre made shapes, and the shower space in the pictures is probably made from one which is "curvable".
Really nifty and easy to work with, though slightly pricy for regular jobs. I prefer this type of material to plasterboard when making shelves and such.

Boards did take a little bit of heating with a heat gun to help them to curve, do have a tendency to snap at a certain curvature when cold

So, we're not allowed to mention brands that compete with our sponsors now!?!?!?! I can appreciate the mods pushing products that sponsor the forum, but i don't think members should be censored because they use something different. That'll just end in our sponsors pushing their prices up, as they are getting a monopoly... That's my 2C's anyway. :rant:
