Tileable shower benches and niches

A better shower install is not just about the tile you see, it is about the details built behind it. Tileable benches and niches help you deliver a cleaner finished look while adding real-world function like storage for shampoo and soaps, and seating for shaving or accessibility needs. This collection brings together tile-ready shower benches and recessed niches designed for wet environments, so you can build in seating and storage without improvising on site.

How to choose the right bench or niche

• Start with layout and stud spacing
  
  Confirm your niche size and placement before waterproofing so your cuts and seams stay clean.
  
• Match to your waterproofing approach
  
  Plan your system continuity at corners and penetrations so the niche or bench integrates cleanly with the waterproofing layer.
  
• Decide what matters most
  
  If the goal is storage, choose niche depth and height based on real bottles you expect. If the goal is comfort, choose a bench style that fits the shower footprint and tile plan.
  
• Think about finishing details
  
  Shelves, inside corners, and transitions are where sloppy installs show. Choose solutions that let you keep lines straight and edges easy to tile.
