Built-In Storage Solutions

Shower niches are recessed storage areas built into shower walls. They keep essentials organized and accessible without cluttering the shower floor.

New Shower Installation

Niches are easiest to include during new shower construction. We frame the niche, waterproof it properly, and tile it to match your shower design.

Retrofit Installation

Niches can be added to existing showers during renovations. We cut into the wall, frame the opening, waterproof, and tile to match existing work.

Size and Placement

Niches come in various sizes. Standard niches are 12-16" wide and 6-8" tall. We position them at convenient heights and plan for multiple niches when space allows.

Waterproofing

Niches require proper waterproofing to prevent leaks. We install waterproof membranes and ensure proper drainage within the niche.

Tile Integration

Niches are tiled to match or complement your shower tile. We can use accent tiles, mosaics, or the same tile as the shower for a cohesive look.

Multiple Niches

Larger showers often benefit from multiple niches at different heights. We plan placement based on your needs and the shower's configuration.
