The Houseables Recessed Niche is a pre-fabricated insert that offers a reliable alternative to custom-built shower boxes. Made from injection-molded polymer, this unit is designed to handle the temperature fluctuations of a bathroom without putting undue stress on your grout lines. The 16-inch by 11-inch frame fits easily into most wall configurations, providing a 4-inch deep storage pocket for daily essentials.
One of the primary build features is the diamond-patterned texture on the flange. This design choice increases the surface area for the mortar, helping to ensure the tile remains securely bonded to the wall. Because it is a single molded piece, it helps maintain a moisture-resistant core in your shower wall, though adding a supplemental waterproofing band over the seams during installation is a helpful step for long-term protection.
The lightweight chassis is beneficial for reducing the load on non-load-bearing partitions. Since the geometry is fixed, it is most effective when the wall studs are correctly aligned, as it does not offer adjustability once in place. This unit provides a straightforward, "plug-and-play" way to add storage to a renovation project without the complexity of manual framing.
If you are looking for a more decorative finish that does not require tiling, the Brushed Stainless Steel Double Shelf Niche provides a modern metallic look. Explore more options for your bathroom layout in our built-in shower niche organizers collection.
