Prefabricated Shower Niche

Category: infrastructure

A waterproof, recessed wall insert designed to store shampoo and toiletries inside a shower cavity panel.

Building a niche manually out of framing timber often introduces leak vectors along horizontal corners. Modern installers use prefabricated niches composed of high-density extruded polystyrene or solid plastic boxes that are 100% waterproof and ready to accept thinset mortar tiles immediately.

Common Examples

• We set a prefabricated shower niche between the wall studs, tapping its integrated flange flat into our liquid membrane seal run.
• Always slope the bottom shelf tile of a shower niche slightly forward into the basin to ensure water sheds off the ledge cleanly.
