Hello,
we are planning a recessed niche/shelf in our shower measuring 50 x 30cm (20 x 12 inches). The site manager asked me at what height we would like to have it. Therefore, my question to you is: who else has a similar niche/shelf and at what height does yours start? It would also be interesting to compare your measurements.
Thank you in advance

That's right, the niche in the shower wall is exactly the same size as one tile. This creates a very harmonious look.
Unfortunately, I don’t have a photo showing the entire niche, but I can provide two pictures, each showing part of the niche:

Thank you, that already helps me a lot. Is the niche on your side recessed into a 17.5 cm (7 inch) wall? Planning according to the tile size is a great idea. Then 60 x 30 would also make more sense for us. Could you, Vorlauf, check again when you’re home at what height your niche starts? It should be something around 1.25 m (4 ft) right?!

I just took another look at the building plan.
The wall that includes the recess is 23 cm (9 inches) thick. This wall also contains electrical and wastewater pipes – in addition, our house is a timber frame construction, so I can’t provide typical masonry wall thicknesses.
I was mistaken as well – the recess actually starts above the 5th row of tiles, not above the 4th as I had previously written. According to the plan, the sill height of the recess is 1.38 m (4 ft 6 in).
However, our tiles are not 30 x 60 cm (12 x 24 inches) as I previously stated, but rather 25 x 70 cm (10 x 28 inches)... so the sill height, including grout and waterproofing, adds up correctly.

Dirk

Thank you, okay, 1.38 m (4 ft 6 in) measured from the finished floor or the screed. That makes a total of 13 cm (5 inches) for joints. As a layperson, that seems like a lot to me—almost 2.1 cm (0.85 inches) per joint. 13 cm (5 inches) divided by 6 equals 2.16 cm (0.85 inches). Or am I mistaken?
