The HYDRO-BLOK Recessed Shower Niche is a shower niche constructed for recessed installation within tiled shower walls using a single-piece XPS foam core, fiberglass mesh reinforcement, and a modified cement coating.

This tile shower niche installs directly into standard wall framing and provides a waterproof, tile-ready surface without requiring additional liners or surface-applied coatings.

The one-piece construction forms a rigid cavity that maintains shape during installation and supports direct bonding of tile using standard thinset mortars. The niche is designed to fit within 16 inch on-center stud bays and can be installed horizontally or vertically depending on layout requirements.

The cement-coated surface allows tile or stone to be installed directly to the niche interior, creating a recessed storage area within the shower wall while maintaining continuous waterproof performance.
