I have also found out there is a thing called a folding screen hinge! http://www.naturalliving.co.uk/acatalog ... inges.html

Thanks both!

I want to search the net for hinges that go both ways. I mean, if you use them to attach two panels (like bifold doors) they can fold back either way. But I cannot search for them as I don't know what they are called :-(

Bob That is a pretty high ceiling- you must have an older style house then. It was finished in October 1873 -- I have the plasterer's signature and date on a blank plastered wall in my office. If you shop around, ply is available in 10' (3m) long sheets. This will save having to have a joint...

I was at my desk till midnight last night trying to simplify the design and have completely changed it -- hopefully now it will be much simpler to construct and be much stronger and less work. I still need to bend something flexible around a wooden former, though, so the thread has been very...

The colour of the anaglypta will match the walls of the room. Only the colour, there is no paper on the walls. Only the screen will have anaglypta, nothing else will. But it will be the same colour as the walls, just a different texture -- a sort of hessian effect.

The outside of the panels that are attached to the bath will be painted to match the walls. The freestanding triptych screen will be wallpapered and painted. It never gets wet.

Hi Jake There was never any intention to use wallpaper as a shower panel LOL. The insides of the side panels (not the triptych screen) would be covered with mosaic tiles, as they can go round a curve. Nothing else needs waterproofing. Love, Lady x

Oooh very clever Bob! Only problem is, the panels will have to go down to the ground. Also, I am going to build a sort of pelmet across the top, also curved of course.... across the corner bath, following the lines of the bath.

Where is the emoticon for "baffled lady bewildered"? Oh Bob if only you were here you could make it all for me lol

Oh Lordy! I won't even have finished the drawings till the weekend!

Hope this makes it clearer - the blank canvas! As you can see, Bob, because of the curvature of the bath, there doesn't seem to be any way to make the side panels straight. At the top left of the pic, there is only 3cm of wall before we come to the window. Thanks for the horizontal idea...

Oh Bob I would LOVE to make them flat! But would it work? Making them straight would mean that to make them touch on the side furthest away from the wall, they won't touch the edge of the bath at the point nearest the wall. There would be a hole! THere are other problems: there is only 3cm...

Yes, that is clever, and we have come a full circle back to my idea of anaglypta type paper then painted to match the room walls. How do you like my amateur drawings?

The 400 wide panels are ill-thought out at present. Each one would be attached to the wall at one end, to help to stop water egress when the shower above the bath is used, and make the bath cosy, and one side (at the bottom) will be attached to a 400 deep worktop.
