Recess in a partition wall

[DazJWood]

I am redoing my bathroom at the moment and will shortly be installing a shower cubicle. I was hoping to put a recessed shelf in the cubicle. It will be on the wall that seperates the bathroom from the landing and as such is a partition wall of about 100mm thick. My bathroom side currently has not got the tile backer on it yet so I was thinking of adding a few more wooden noggins / batons to the wall to create a square and then add the back board and cut a hole to create the recess. I would then add some backer board to the internal parts of the recess, add some waterproof membrane and then tile.

Is this type of recess in a partition wall ok or is it not a recommended practise?

Thanks in advance,

Daz

It looks good when tiled, there are some recent pictures of one with a light fitted in the top, cant remember where though...😳

As above. Looks great and is really handy but just make sure it is water proof and it has enough of a run on it so you dont end up with a little pond.

Hey Sean they look great!

I was thinking of putting lights in myself. I've already bought some outside deck lights I was going to use for below the bath and shower cubicle.

What lights do you use and where can you get them? Have you got a link?

Thanks,

Daz

the single light was one i had left over from my old kitchen and i fitted it for the lady as a free bee, the other ones i use are from a firm called robus.
Robus LED Decking Light Kit - Large Kits @ e-tradecounter.co.uk

i get them from a local electric wholesaler about £50 for the 10 light kit. about £30 for the 5 light kit.
