January 16, 20197 yr We are looking at putting in shower recesses into our showers. Are these prefab boxes worth it? https://www.kerdi-board.co.uk/shower-niche.aspx https://www.pureadhesion.co.uk/marmox-niche-300x400x100mm.html If so, anyone got any preference? Thanks

Thanks which one did you go for eventually? What's the configuration? We're designing ours now, too many options!!
May 30, 20206 yr Never seen these but they are a good idea. Without checking the details myself, do they com3 in different s dims? 85mm is shallow once tiled. I made my own (marmot and orbry board) Openings with tile sizes in mind to try and limit cut edges and to fit mosaics. I did hav3 the luxury of a large cavity Edited May 30, 20206 yr by SiBee Added pics

Moisture resistant plasterboard is ample, if used sensibly and in conjunction with a tanking solution. Why spend stupid amounts of money on something that requires tanking ANYWAY? If you want something waterproof then cement board ( Aqua panel etc ) is a one-up option but if you’re tanking is still overkill imo. Ive a 1/4 century of high-end bathroom installs under my belt btw, so am not making these comments without care and confidence.
May 30, 20206 yr Made mine under instruction of His Highness the Welsh Wizard: Timber frame: Lined with Aquapanel: Tanked: If you want a really big pocket you likely won't get a former anyway.
May 31, 20206 yr They are expensive for what they are . But takes 2 mins to install . They have a collar that surrounds them which I’ve yet to install . Joints on the board have some special mix you use . Boards are described as water resistant rather than water proof . Still if the water has got past your tiles / grout / Mastik you’re in trouble anyway .
