Shower Niches for Tiled Shower Storage
A shower niche is a recessed storage compartment installed within a tiled shower wall to hold shampoo, soap, and shower accessories without protruding into the shower space. Often referred to as a tile shower niche, or prefab shower niche, these built-in storage solutions create a clean, integrated appearance while improving shower organization.
This collection includes shower niches designed to work with common waterproofing systems and backer boards, supporting proper drainage, clean tile alignment, and long-term performance in wet environments. Prefabricated shower niches simplify installation by providing a factory-formed structure that is ready to be integrated into wall framing and waterproofed prior to tile installation.
Shower niches are available in a variety of sizes, shapes, and configurations to accommodate different shower layouts and tile patterns. When properly selected and installed, a shower niche becomes a permanent, low-maintenance storage solution within the shower enclosure.
Types of Shower Niches
- Single-Compartment Niches: Provide one recessed storage area
- Multi-Compartment Niches: Offer separate sections for organizing products
- Horizontal & Vertical Niches: Accommodate different wall layouts and tile patterns
- Preformed Shower Niches: Factory-built units ready for installation
How to Choose a Shower Niche
- Size: Select a niche that fits between wall studs or framing
- Orientation: Horizontal or vertical based on layout and tile size
- Waterproofing Compatibility: Confirm compatibility with the selected waterproofing system
- Material: Choose niches designed specifically for wet-area use
Common Applications
Shower niches are used in residential and commercial tiled showers, tub surrounds, and wet rooms where built-in storage is required without reducing usable space.
Why use a Shower Niche
Properly installed shower niches provide integrated storage, help maintain a clean shower layout, and support waterproofing continuity. Using a shower niche system helps reduce installation time and supports consistent, professional results.
