Schluter®-DESIGN-NICHE: A Smart Way to Build Storage into Tiled Walls
DESIGN-NICHE is a prefabricated, powder-coated aluminum niche designed to simplify installation while delivering a modern, finished look. This ready-to-use niche is built for speed and durability, with no need to tile the interior.
It comes fully assembled with a bonded KERDI waterproofing collar and KERDI-FIX adhesive, ensuring a watertight connection right out of the box. The DESIGN-NICHE can be installed flush with the wall or with a reveal edge, depending on tile thickness or layout needs.
Available in three sizes, the niche can be mounted vertically or horizontally, offering flexibility on-site without extra fabrication. The powder-coated finish comes in five TRENDLINE colors that match Schluter’s most popular profiles and drain grates, giving it a clean, cohesive look that is designed to align with common tile sizes to ensure continuous grout lines. It’s a practical choice for tiled showers, tub surrounds or accent walls where function and aesthetics matter.
For builders, the benefits are clear: no fiddling with small tile cuts, no need for framing a box on site, and a niche that’s fast to install, fully waterproof and visually sharp. The lightweight aluminum design is easy to handle and fits seamlessly into Schluter’s broader waterproofing system, making it a reliable upgrade for any tiled wall installation.
