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.

Are you getting that from N&C in Leeds?
 
do you mean something like this?

Can you tell us more about this Aaron?

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.
