Recess-It Floating Shelf 16" for Adjustable & Ready-to-Tile Shower Niches

Recess-It Floating Shelf 16" for Adjustable & Ready-to-Tile Shower Niches

The Recess-It Floating Shelf 16" by Innovis is designed to create a durable, tiled storage shelf inside compatible Recess-It Ready-to-Tile Shower Niches. Manufactured from 1/16-inch thick perforated aluminum, the shelf provides structural reinforcement when combined with tile, thin-set mortar, and grout, creating a strong and attractive floating shelf that blends seamlessly into your finished shower.

Designed to fit within the grout joint of the vertical wall tile, the floating shelf allows installers to align the shelf with the existing tile layout without complicated cuts or sacrificing the overall design. The result is a clean, professional appearance while adding convenient storage inside the shower niche.

The 16-inch Floating Shelf is compatible with the Recess-It Adjustable Ready-to-Tile Shower Niche 16" x 36", the Recess-It Adjustable Ready-to-Tile Shower Niche 16" x 72", and can be trimmed for use in other compatible Recess-It shower niche models.

Why Add a Floating Shelf?

A floating shelf divides the shower niche into multiple storage areas, making it easier to organize shampoo bottles, conditioner, soap, razors, and other shower accessories. The reinforced aluminum design becomes an integral part of the tiled installation, providing excellent strength while maintaining the appearance of a custom-built tiled shelf.

Unlike glass or plastic shelves, the Recess-It Floating Shelf is completely concealed beneath the finished tile, allowing it to blend naturally with the surrounding shower while providing long-lasting structural support.

Installation Notes

The floating shelf is installed during the tile installation process. Position the shelf within the grout joint of the vertical wall tile, allowing the perforated aluminum to become fully embedded in thin-set mortar and grout. Once tiled, the shelf becomes a reinforced structural component of the finished shower niche.

For specialty applications, the shelf may be trimmed to fit compatible Recess-It shower niches or mounted vertically in select models to create a convenient footrest for shaving.
