Description

wedi Sanwell Niches are prefabricated wall niches used to create tiled storage shelves/areas in bathrooms and wet rooms, for storing bath and shower utensils. They provide a factory-made, watertight element that can be easily installed and saves a lot of time compared to constructing the element by hand.

wedi Sanwell Niches are constructed from the same materials as the wedi Tile Backer Board, each niche consists of a blue core made from extruded polystyrene rigid foam that is reinforced with glass fibre (with alkali-resistant finish) on both sides and coated with a polymer-modified cement. This core is 100% waterproof and remains fully functional even after possible damage.

wedi Sanwell Niches are available in two sizes – 20/40 and 30/60, made from either 10mm or 12.5mm thick wedi Board. Click on the links below to view the technical drawing for each niche.
