These all look great. How would I go about constructing something like that? I'm still fairly new to the tiling game.

this niche I created just in normal stud wall ( wall is 50x50mm so I added 20mm wedi on top of the plaster so my niche will be 70mm deep), it's plasterboard behind glued screwed wedi board, just cut out where you want niche add more noggins if needed, stick thin wedi to back of the plasterboard inside niche, just don't forget to tape corners and joint inside niche, which i didn't done yet, I'll post this niche when ill go back to finish this job

Here is 1 niche that I have done, 1st time I have uploaded pics so bear with me. I used glass mosaics to eliminate the need for trim.

If your showing off with your Niche - I'll show you one of mine !

Glass shelf at 2/3rds hieght - Glass mosaics and porcelain on the wall - customers choice. ! Big bottles on the bottom - small at the top

My one piece of advise to all of you - Always slope the deck of the 'Niche' forward slightly to drain and watch the internal corners - make sure 'no-pooling'

Nothing wrong with it dont get me wrong

But that is ONE DEEP NICHE....

I think the word is Cavernous !

Should have hidden the electric shower in it.

I know manufacturers are now addressing the problem of asthetics with these things but they are still ugly imo.

Hi guys

I especially like the recess with the single blue light to the right of the exposed therm shower valve Sean FSY

Also impressive is Sean Page - Kabenza's shower panel in darker tiling with the blue lights

It's good to see that there is a bunch of us on this forum that are proud of our work and are prepared push the design limits to the edge. Creative and Inovative is the way forward and sets us apart from the Joe Soaps out there.

Keep it up

Hi Bolter

I've sent a pic of the porthole you asked for but it not on the thread so I guess its lost in the ether

I'll try again. The hardwood circular window does not get wet at all- We had plan to create a semi circle of 10mm glass, supended from a s/s 25mm pin at the top but was not necesary in the end.

The circular reveal annd complete walls were tanked in membrane sheet and sealed. The B......dy Mosaics were a nightmare however its OK now its finished

Also enc a 45 deg angled wet room - No niche as such but we made an Iroko tray for my customer and a matching seat in Iroko -







I'm absolutely niched now:19:

Hi TommyZooom

Is that Travertine you used on the bath panel / top etc ?

What made you decide to use Aluminium Trim rather than mitre and round-over the corner joints and top edges - Was this decision the customer's own. ?

Love the walk in shower - What make was the base and walls - We use a simlar one. Nice

Hi, Trav yes, Customers own choice to use the trim as she wanted to put the marble mosaics on the top of the bath, window cill etc and the trim added a bit of protection, I did offer to put trav on top and bullnose it but she wouldn't have it,the back of the niche is removable for access to pump btw

The shower was wedi I think, niche was custom made to fit in the void

Little one i done this week. always nice to prepare the hole yourself and not one where the joiners have pre done it not realising where the tiles are going to sit. Tried to get it nice and central inbetween 4 tiles. pretty easy to do if you have the tiles there when preparing.Sorry about quality, done on my phone:

 

[JFRWhipple]

Sean I love those niche lights! Now I'm looking at my old work and thinking I could have raised the bar.

Lighting options for shampoo niches is going on the list of luxury upgrades for sure. What are the brand or brands of lighting your using? Have you run across any inspection issues?

Nice work.

 

[Rob Z]

Here's one we just finished.

 

[DHTiling]

Looks well Rob. i like the way the face edge sets back giving it more dimension..

 

[ralanden]

Does anybody in UK supply Niche formers to accept tiles. I know they are available in the US. Could knock one up but a factory product must be preferable?

thx

R

 

[nybor62]

[Sean fsy]

Nice Niche!

I especially liked the middle one with the thicker profile ledge. Nice touch !
