Recessed Shower Niche Installation
STEP 1
Place the shower niche at the desired location with the flange facing out, and trace the perimeter of the niche on the substrate.
When positioning the unit, take care not to interfere with any structural wall framing members. Enlarge marked layout on all sides to allow the niche to fit comfortably, and cut out substrate.
STEP 2
Add a continuous bead of adhesive caulk along the mounting flange, then secure to wall cavity using cement backe
r
board screws. It is advisable to drill piolt holes on the flange, and use a handheld screwdriver or a power screwdriver on a low-resistance setting to tighten the screws. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.
Note: Horizontal 2x4 blocking can be wedged into the top and bottom of the opening to provide a grip a better grip for the screws.
Important: The thickness of the mounting flange should be minimized to provide a flush wall surface for the finish tile. In some cementious substrates, you may be able to grind the perimeter of the cut out to provide a flush fit. Otherwise install the niche, and then feather the edge of the unit with thinset for a distance of 8"-12". Allow the thinset to harden prior to continuing with finish tile placement.
STEP 3
Finish as desired using a thinset suitable for finish surface material being applied.
Note: The niche has a pre-determined slope for the bottom surface. This may be reduced or enhanced by using a thicker layer of thinset at front or rear of horizontal plane as necessary.
