The tileable EPS wall niche 150 is a precisely fitting installation element for creating professionally integrated storage areas inside walls.
With internal dimensions of 50 x 30 x 12 cm, the wall niche provides practical storage for care products, bathroom accessories and other items. Its external dimensions of 56 x 36 x 15 cm allow it to be integrated into suitable wall structures. The element is designed for wall depths of 11.5 cm in new construction and installation situations up to 15 cm in renovation projects.
The prefabricated wall element is made from rigid expanded polystyrene, or EPS. An integrated honeycomb structure provides high stability despite the low approximate weight of 0.3 kg. According to the available product information, the material is resistant to ageing and remains dimensionally stable under one-sided temperature or moisture exposure.
EPS installation niche for drywall and masonry construction
The EPS installation niche can be integrated into suitable masonry structures and aluminium stud walls. Depending on the substrate and installation situation, it can be fixed with adhesive or screws. In new construction, the element can be planned directly as part of the intended wall assembly.
When retrofitting the niche into an existing wall, a suitable wall opening must be created. Any protruding section can be trimmed flush with the plaster surface after installation. The wall depth, pipework, cables and general wall construction must be checked before installation.
Bathroom niche for tiling, plastering and lighting
After professional installation, the bathroom niche can be tiled using the thin-bed method. Alternatively, suitable plaster, filler or coating materials can be applied. This allows the integrated storage area to be coordinated with the tile layout and the overall bathroom design.
The EPS material can also be modified for suitable LED profiles and lighting tracks. Lighting, cable routing, protection rating and heat management must be planned before tiling or coating the surface. Electrical connections must be completed by appropriately qualified professionals.
Tileable wall niche with modular width extension
The tileable wall niche can be extended by joining two elements to create a wider storage area. This makes it possible to produce customised niche widths for bathrooms, washbasin areas and other suitable interior spaces. The connection, fixing method and surface treatment must be coordinated with the relevant wall structure.
According to the available product information, additional waterproofing inside the element is generally not required. Connections, transitions and adjacent wall surfaces must nevertheless be completed according to the project-specific waterproofing concept.
The tileable wall niche is not intended for wet areas in swimming pools, communal shower rooms or similarly demanding areas. It is particularly suitable for professional tilers, drywall contractors, sanitary installation companies, construction companies, renovation contractors and interior fit-out specialists.
