Stone Style Shampoo/Soap Corner Shelf Installation
This article shows you how to install our corner shelf in new shower builds as well as existing showers.
Stone Style Corner Shampoo/Soap Shelf
Corner shelves designed for both ease of installation and overall strength.
Manufactured from a single piece of stone featuring extended stone tabs that notch into your existing tile wall.
Unlike other stone corner shelves on the market which install using sticky tape or glue to adhere to the exiting tiled wall; our shelves notch into a slot creating a locking bond that does not allow them to fall to the floor causing damage to your shower.
Another advantage of Stone Style corner shelf is they cover your tile cuts when installed, eliminating grout lines and creating an overall clean appearance.
Easy Installation – Niche sits flush with finished tile:
- Create a notch in your tile that is 3/8” wide and 8” long extending in both directions from inside corner of the wall. (See picture for reference.)
- Place 1/16” to 1/8” shim under the shelf for drainage away from wall.
- Install shelf with Modified Thinset or 100% Silicone. (See picture for reference.)
- Caulk edges for extra waterproofing.
Easy Installation – Existing Shower
- Draw a 3/8” wide level line that extends 8” in both directions from the inside corner of the wall.
- Use a 3/8” drill bit to drill a hole at the end of your drawn line.
- Cut a 3/8” by 8” notch with a diamond blade up to the drilled hole. (See picture for reference.)
- Place 1/16” to 1/8” shim under the self for drainage away from wall.
- Install front of niche ½” past front of tile. Use shims to hold in place. (Pro-Tip: wood shims work but we recommend composite shims that are scored to break off. They are available at all major home supply stores.)
- Caulk edges for extra waterproofing.
