Comments (2)There's actually a dealer who's been pushing his wares here (linked below), and he's got a pretty good selection of preformed niches. That said, if you have an installer who's not afraid to make his own, he can lay out th framing so as to make the niche fall cull all the way around, and it'd look much better that way. Either way is acceptable, though, and the preformed would be much less expensive. Here is a link that might be useful: Tile Depot...See MoreLighting tiled ceiling in 82" high shower?

The second photo shows edging with Caesarstone Blizzard on the niche and window in my master bathroom. And the 3rd photo is natural quartzite, used in my guest bathroom. Same stone on countertop, vertical edge of shower, curb, edge of shower niche, and edge of window. This was before the shower trims, shower head, and glass enclosure were installed....See MoreUser
