Hey those spotlight holes look nicely cut!
Thanks mate
I am actually using your drill bits xexe, had really expensive 1s 4 years ago from USA, left over night one day, and next day I came couldn't find them :(
So since then I am purchasing just your drill bits :thumbsup:They last forever for that price

Thats-a-nice-niche !

Do you plan to put a glass shelf in the middle so you can double rack the shampoo bottles
or is that the finished thing.

Something I discovered in my own shower is that the missus soon started filling up the space and took over with mutliple bottles of Pantene VO5 Soap Razors Conditioners Radox Flannels to the extent that I would often elbow off the contents and then be scrabbling round the tray picking up half empty bottles (if my foot was lucky) or full bottles (if my foot was not so lucky) and restacking an overloaded space.

But I think thats the downside to all niches - they get used! And theres never enough room.
 
These all look great. How would I go about constructing something like that? I'm still fairly new to the tiling game.

Cheers - Brendan
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

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'
