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

Hello,

sorry for the late reply – I couldn’t access the forum from yesterday evening until just now…

Our niche starts at a height of 1.268 meters (4 feet 2 inches) – the joints each have a width of about 3 millimeters (0.12 inches).

I hope this helps you a bit more now…

Best regards,

Dirk

Hi Dirk,
that's exactly when the technology fails.

Thanks anyway, I have now specified 1.25m (4 feet), I think the rest will have to be done by the tiler anyway.

Depending on the tile size, there might not be much that can be done, or it might just end up looking awkward exactly in that spot.

Hello,

another recommendation from me:

I would suggest using metal profiles (stainless steel or chrome-plated) for the "frame" around the niche and all edges instead of the standard white Schlüter profiles.

It doesn’t cost much but provides a significant visual improvement.

Regards,

Dirk

I would generally only do that

That's right, the niche in the shower wall is exactly the same size as one tile. This creates a quite harmonious look.

Unfortunately, I don't have a photo showing the entire niche, but I can provide two pictures, each showing a part of the niche:

Hello Dirk. I really like the bathroom radiator/towel warmer shown in the photo. Could you please tell me the manufacturer and model name? Thank you very much in advance for your reply. Eva
