Hi Julie,

These shelves are made from a combination of MDF and pine.

They are spray painted with two primers and two top coats in the workshop and hand finished onsite after installation.

Please do let me know if you need further information.

Kind regards,

Cameron

MATH the terracotta panels ( Ladrillos panelas) are very brittle so I doubt if topping a wall with them would be that good they are okay in suspended ceilings, shelves and similar but on a wall top you would definitely need to render them quite thickly. The dimensions you give work out to 60 cubic metres so I see why you want an alternative to blocks, casting concrete or using lava. I had a google for Spanish concrete panels along the lines of gravel boards, don't know if you speak any Spanish so it's more or less 'panelas de hormigon', I can't find anything useful on Spanish Google at the moment but next week I have to go to my local builders merchant so I'll ask him if he has any ideas.

That is a lot of money but oak is a very expensive wood. I bought a chunky shelf via Etsy from Ben Simpsons Furniture and I love the chunky wood. I think it’s pine wood but they have several stain finishes that may appeal to you. My shelf cost £50 and it came with wrought iron fittings included. I noticed they did floating shelves too and they also do bespoke. If they don’t appeal to you, there are loads of other people selling shelving on Etsy so worth a look.

Unless you are going for hardwood decking, I wouldn’t have it. It is slippery when wet and softwood decking starts to rot after a few years. Mine is 8 years old and starting to rot in one corner. I was considering composite decking until I found several bad reviews of it, mainly in the US. It tends to show wear and flaking within 10 years and it warps. In fact Trex is being sued by many customers in the US as the product is not maintenance free and does not last 25 years. Have a read on www.thecraftsmanblog.com. However, outdoor grade porcelain seems a better bet? It comes in wood effect or tile and is non slip. It has a very modern feel if that is the look you’re after. Worth a look?

Thx for the replies. Read some of the responses and decided not to put any panels and this is the outcome. Considering there is no sort of panelling I'll have to decorate it another way. Any suggestions? Even got my bit of Quartz cut and buffed to size. Waiting for tap to arrive in post and I'll get the basin fitted too. @j;aCualey - that's an interesting idea. Any examples?
