But if you're in WA and they don't do the timber framework then your build won't be the same as ours and those photos won't be much help.. Kayla Re: Shower Niche help- single brick; can it be done? 16Jul 21, 2012 3:34 pm This is devastating. The external walls are double brick, my ensuite uses one of these external walls, perhaps I can have one there. Sigh. I'm crushed, I absolutely love those shower niches. I can't stand glass shelves. THe other alternative is a tile corner shelf, but I'm worried that having that will make the next row of tiles sit too high and there will be an extra thick grout line, if you know what I mean? Can't see how it wouldn't.

My shower is pretty small I think, that's why a niche would have been perfect.

It's a good idea if you're not into the glass shelf, but doesnt seem like it would really hold much (and you couldn't make it too big or it'd take up too much shower space). What a bummer about the niches! I'm assuming that making the wall thicker so that you could have a niche would cost a bit more and therefore not an option? Is it possible to do that? Or if you didn't want to double layer one entire wall just to add a niche, you could possibly just double the wall up to a certain height, forming a shelf to put shampoo etc on? Of course you will lose some shower space doing this, so may not be a very good option either. Sorry, I hope you can find a solution! Kayla Re: Shower Niche help- single brick; can it be done? 20Jul 21, 2012 7:46 pm Is the wall you wish to put this niche located on an internal (wooden stud frame) wall or a double brick external wall. If so it is possible on either. If internal it is lined with villa board or similar, strong, waterproof, and thin for maximum depth etc. If d/Brick it needs to be lined with similar and a rear support in place to hold he rear panel. It may need a small lintel in the brickwork for support as well. All of the niche's have to waterproofed like the relevant areas of the showers so 2 layers of WR board is not required. If it's an internal wall then $600 is over the top, if it's on the D/B there is a bit more involved, so would cost more, but as the wall has not yet been built, it is not that hard or that expensive.
