Hello,
we are considering which shower shelf would be practical for shampoo and similar items in a new build.
A shower niche is not possible (it would reduce the shower floor space and make the shower too small for us).
These shower baskets keep falling off ://
What alternatives are there for new builds that are also durable and visually appealing?
It should definitely be something sturdy and resistant, capable of holding a few kilograms.

I didn’t know that until now. Were they installed by the tile setter?Yes, they were. (Minimum characters written)P

I think we will choose an option where tiles are installed in the corners.
What would you suggest—should we retrofit this ourselves later or have the tiler do it right away?

To be honest, if I had drywall in the shower, I would know it. What I mean is: with some shell constructions, that’s simply not an option. They have solid walls, and that’s it.
Especially if you’re building only around 130m² (1400ft²) – there’s rarely enough space for that. Pwnage619 schrieb:

The walls in the shower face the stairwell and the neighboring semi-detached house. @ypg, you were obviously right. That’s a solid argument. I just had drywall in mind, which obviously wasn’t correct. Of course, it’s possible to create a niche in a masonry wall (11.5cm (4.5 inches), I think) facing the stairwell, using a lintel and a recessed box. But that would probably be disproportionately expensive.

The walls in the shower are adjacent to the stairwell and the neighboring semi-detached house.
I think we will choose an option where tiles are installed in the corners. Where exactly is the shower head supposed to go, on the wall towards the neighbor or the stairwell? How thick are these walls?
Could you please share the floor plan of the bathroom and the adjoining walls? Ideally with measurements.
Is this really a developer or a construction company? In other words: do you already own the land?
