Â*Â*and very nice they are too!

10mm thick plastic, looks very similar to corrugated cardboard from
the side.


What were they like to fix? Especially the joints?


10 minute job. Panels simply fit very tight into the corner and end
trims (aluminium in my case - can have coated plastic as well) - you put
silicon on the underside of the trim first. Another 5 minute jobs.

Problem is that there is no way to fix a shelf to the glass enclosure,
so it will have to be attached to the walls somehow.

Considering that it will need to hold around 5-6 full 0.5l bottles of
shampoo/conditioner/shower gel/etc, possibly more (don't ask...),
would any of the suction-type fixing be up for the job?

Otherwise, how would the panel suggest fixing it to the wall panels
(plasterboard behind)?Â* Simple masonry rollplugs?


Long (50mm+) plug through the panel into the wall behind - then brass or
stainless screws. Blob of silicone around the hole just before fixing
the bracket.


Thanks.
