Hi,

Does anyone know if ti si possible to get the steel equivalent of
http://www.plumbworld.co.uk/0-16420? - or does the shape preclude it being
made in steel?

I am having trouble locating such a beast.

TIA.

Probably easiest to get an acrylic. Ive got a really nice one that
size..expensive, thick, but its a damn site better at 16509 or whatever
than the ditzy 1800 bathstore thing.

There are constraints on how deep you can press steel, and how much of a
flange you need to leave as well.

What counts as a decent thickness for acrylic? I can't see any "P"
shaped steel showerbaths, so looks like I'll be getting an acrylic one,
but don't want a twilly-willy one ...

well the one I was looking at is "5mm cast acrylic sheet fully reinforced".
Do you class that as good/thick?

Just fitted a 1700 Ideal Standard Space bath, they also do a 1500. Pretty
solid, no creaks or groans. The base board doesn't go right to the plug
hole though and there is movement there when you stand around it.

not bad. 10mm is what I call good.
3mm is crap.

Thanks.
