Ferdinand Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 While chatting to my fitter doing the shower last week, he alluded to a new type of shower wall panel made from some sort of recycled plastic, which he compared favourably to the plywood core Multipanels. Does anyone have any idea what these might be? Cheers Ferdinand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteamyTea Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 Plastics have been recycled for decades. We used to have large containers outside the factory for the vac formed off cuts and scrap. Prices varied by the type and colour, but it was always worth doing, and that was nearly 40 years ago. Really need a bit more information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MSDS not available for their glue but pretty sure it’s StixAll in a different tube 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
