Full details
The Wholesale Domestic Recess Metal Niche is designed for homeowners and contractors seeking a streamlined, clutter-free bathroom aesthetic through high-quality, flush-mounted storage. It provides a durable and moisture-resistant solution for organizing toiletries within a shower enclosure; however, users should note that because it is a recessed unit, installation requires professional wall preparation and tiling skills to ensure a perfect fit.

FAQs
Can I install this in a stud wall?
Yes, provided there is enough space within the wall cavity and the stud framing is modified to accommodate the niche footprint.
Is the material rust-proof?
The niche is constructed from high-quality, moisture-resistant steel suitable for showers, but regular cleaning is recommended to maintain the surface finish.
What tools are needed for installation?
You will need a tile saw, a utility knife for membranes, professional-grade adhesive, and silicone sealant.
Can this be painted?
It is generally recommended to keep the original stainless finish for maximum moisture resistance.
Is a waterproofing kit included?
No, you must provide your own waterproofing membrane or sealant to ensure the wall remains watertight.
What is the warranty period?
The product comes with a 3-year guarantee from the manufacturer.
Troubleshooting
Water pooling inside the base of the niche
Ensure the bottom edge of the niche has a slight negative slope (angle) toward the shower drain to allow for proper water run-off.
Visible gaps between tile and niche edge
Apply a high-quality, color-matched silicone sealant to fill any minute gaps between the niche frame and the tile.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation
- Wall Framing: Ensure the wall stud configuration supports the 300mm x 600mm cutout size.
- Waterproofing: Apply proper waterproofing membranes around the niche edges to maintain the integrity of the wall structure.
- Tiling: Apply thin-set mortar and tile up to the metal edges for a finished, professional look.
Care and Maintenance
- Daily Cleaning: Wipe down the stainless steel with a soft microfiber cloth to prevent water spots.
- Avoid Abrasives: Do not use scouring pads or harsh acidic cleaners, as these can damage the finish of the metal.
- Inspection: Periodically check the silicone seals around the tile joints to ensure no water is penetrating behind the niche.
