The Ez-Niches 36-inch vertical unit is designed for master showers that require significant storage for a high volume of bottles. It is constructed from recycled polypropylene, a material that offers a high level of chemical resistance against soaps and conditioners while maintaining the structural rigidity needed for such a tall span. To prevent warping during the installation process, the reverse side of the flange features reinforced ribbing.
Designed to provide efficient water management, the shelves feature a 2-degree downward slope to ensure water sheds naturally, which helps keep the niche clean. The non-porous surface is naturally resistant to mold and mildew, offering a hygienic alternative to traditional tiled niche floors that have many grout lines.
Because this unit spans 36 inches vertically, it is helpful to ensure the wall framing is properly reinforced to support the large opening and prevent future grout cracking.
The textured surface is built to provide a strong mechanical bond for standard mortars. While the installation requires more modification to the wall cavity than smaller units, the result is a massive storage-to-footprint ratio that makes the most of the empty space behind your walls.
For those who prefer a wider, horizontal storage area rather than a tall vertical one, the Noble Company Wide Niche is an excellent alternative. You can see more high-capacity storage ideas in the built-in shower niche organizers category.
