Shower Bench Seats for Tile Showers
Shower Bench Seats provide integrated seating within compatible tiled shower assemblies and are available in different sizes, shapes, mounting configurations, and constructions. Tileable shower benches can be incorporated into curbed, curbless, walk-in, and other shower designs where built-in seating is desired. Selection depends on the available space, supporting structure, waterproofing system, mounting requirements, and finished tile assembly.
Types of Tileable Shower Benches
Floating & Wall-Mounted Shower Seats
Floating and wall-mounted shower seats attach to compatible wall structures while leaving the floor beneath the seat open. These systems require suitable structural support and mounting components, with framing, fastener, waterproofing, and load requirements varying by product.
Corner & Floor-Supported Shower Benches
Corner shower benches provide seating within the intersection of two shower walls and can suit layouts where space is limited. Floor-supported and rectangular benches can provide larger seating surfaces and may integrate with both the shower floor and wall assembly. Dimensions, construction, and installation methods vary by system.
Tile-Ready Shower Benches & Waterproofing
Tile-ready shower benches become part of the finished wet-area assembly and must be integrated with the appropriate waterproofing system. Depending on the product, seams, mounting points, wall connections, and bench-to-floor transitions may require compatible waterproofing materials. The finished seating surface must also accommodate the drainage requirements of the selected system.
Choosing a Shower Bench Seat
Compare shower bench seats based on available shower dimensions, seating size, corner or rectangular configuration, floating or floor-supported construction, structural requirements, waterproofing compatibility, and finished tile design. Manufacturer requirements should be followed for mounting, support, waterproofing, and other installation details.
