Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Nov 24, 2010 10:28 am Hi, We are having a shower/shampoo niche in our main shower. The shower is 900 x 900 with tiling to 2000. The niche will be 40 x 40. Our builder has suggested that the top of the shower niche be at 1800. Is this too high? What do people think regarding the best height for a shower niche of this size? Thanks! Re: Height of Shower Niche? 2Nov 24, 2010 10:35 am Hi Tuberose, this really depends on how tall you are and where is it comfortable to reach for. If the builder is saying the top at 1800 and the niche is 400 x 400, then the bottom shelf of the niche where the shampoo bottles will sit is 1400mm off the ground. Get a tape measure, measure 1400mm or 140cm up from the floor and see if that is a comfortable height for you to reach for when going for the shampoo.

I will give that a go! Only thing is that it this will be our main bathroom, not our ensuite, ie. the future kids bathroom, so I guess height wise I will need to generalise a bit more as my husband and I are probably both above average height, but this might be a good start. I'll look into different shower heads and ask the plumber about some engineering and see what he says. Thanks 2 9564 ok thanks - yes was wondering if that should have been listed as Option Three! 2 7742 i imagine you also have another contract with an architect? and yeah, whatever other's said about special conditions and appendices 16 16008 |
