[lxiul 0]

I'm trying to find out more abt using hollow blocks instead of those glass and chrome bathroom accesories.

wonder if there is any advantage using hollow blocks instead? i find that chrome and stainless steel may rust after sometime. will hollowblocks with tiled surface is easier to clean?

Please see my blog. I did a 1 metre tall hollow block protrution in my bathing area to do two things: hide the pipes to my shower mixer, and to create a ledge so that i can put my toileteries on it.

My depth is around 10cm and yes it can take many 750ml shampoo bottles !! . This is the reason why i wanted the ledge in the first place.

may I know how much does your ledge cost?

will it be easy to maintain? wats that strap of white line material at the edge of the ledge? plastic or tile?

i can image some contractors may use small square tiles to cover the round edges. Alot of grout lines are exposed giving more chance getting moldy

How many hollow blocks did ur ID used to create the depth? one hollow block should be around 63mm from what I have read on HDB websites and some other contractors quoted me for building of walls.
