in bathrooms, wetroom areas, and kitchens, the DESIGN-NICHE from Schlüter-Systems encompasses the manufacturer’s renowned expertise in meeting multiple challenges, including maintaining continuity of waterproofing while offering flexibility in terms of form, finish and alignment. Supplied as an integrated kit in three different
DESIGN-NICHE showcases flexible finesse from Schlüter-Systems A
s a stylish and innovative alternative to conventional tiled storage recesses
sizes, the prefabricated DESIGN-NICHE features a sleek powder-coated aluminium niche, available in a striking choice of finishes, while themain body of the niche can either be flush-fitted or positioned protruding from the surrounding surface. And significantly it is light and easy to install within a KERDI-BOARD or studwork frame background. Additionally, helping respond to the most recent
changes in guidance from leading warranty provider, NHBC, installation of the kits also makes use of the manufacturer’s tried and trusted KERDI collar. These are pre-adhered with the manufacturer’s widely specified and fully waterproof, soft polyethylene membrane material, covered on both sides with a special fleece webbing which anchors it into the tile adhesive. The three stock sizes are 298mm square and 598 x 298mm or 1198 x 298mm with the range
effectively extending to five options as the rectangular versions can readily be fitted horizontally or vertically. All the niches offer a depth of 91.5mm making them ideal for storing shampoos and shower gels, or a host of kitchen necessities. The anodised aluminium niches are installed by cutting or constructing an accurately sized hole of the desired depth - while a knurled nut facilitates intricate adjustment between 3-55mm, with KERDI FIX being utilised to permanently bond the spacers. KERDI-FIX should also be used to fully fill the joint between the niche and the frame. Importantly, DESIGN-NICHE’s practicality and
flexibility of design is given an additional dimension through the choice of five different decorative
options from Schlüter-Systems’ distinctive TRENDLINE range, withmatt brilliant white and matt graphite black being complemented by textured dark anthracite, textured ivory and textured beige grey – also known as ‘greige’. These durable powder-coated colours further enable the DESIGN-NICHE to either coordinate or contrast with the background tiling and the other trims available in the Schlüter-Systems portfolio. Displaying this level of quality and adaptability, DESIGN-NICHE has already caught the imagination of interior designers, and bathroom and kitchen specialists looking for a point of difference for their schemes; leading to their appearance in a wide variety of property types from residential to luxury hotels and spa destinations: where they can help define and distinguish interior spaces. And there remains the possibility to compliment the niches with other products from the company’s range, such as vanity units or bespoke seating fashioned from the different thicknesses of KERDI-BOARD.
