Hi,
I have ordered a bath with a curved front but haven't ordered the plastic panel as the reviews were bad. I intend to make my own out of some form of flexible timber and then cover with Mosaic tiles (300mmx300mm sheets with 12x12 tiles per sheet, glass and stainless random mix)
I need to curve inward at one end by 250mm over a 1700mm length with a floor to bath depth of around 540mm.
I need to make it in two sections split vertically say 70:30 to allow for it to be removable for access to the waste & tap connectors for future maintenance.
Questions:
1. What is the best material to make the backing panel from? (flexi mdf seems to be a no-no)
2. How should I prep the panel for tiling?
3. What is the best adhesive to use for this application?
All advice is greatly appreciated thanks.
