4. Installation Instructions

This shower niche is designed for easy, tile-free installation. It can be installed horizontally or vertically.

Required Tools (Not Included):

• Measuring tape
• Pencil or marker
• Utility knife or saw (for cutting drywall/backer board)
• Waterproof sealant (e.g., silicone caulk)
• Caulking gun

Installation Steps:

1. Step 1: Determine Height and Mark. Choose the desired installation height for the shower niche. Using a measuring tape and pencil, draw a horizontal line on the base layer (e.g., drywall or cement board) where the top or bottom edge of the niche will sit. Ensure the marked area is free of studs or plumbing.
2. Step 2: Cut Opening. Carefully cut along the marked lines to create an opening in the wall. Remove the cut-out section of the base layer. The opening should match the outer dimensions of the niche.
3. Step 3: Secure Niche. Apply a continuous bead of waterproof sealant around the perimeter of the niche's flange. Insert the niche into the prepared wall opening. Press firmly to ensure good adhesion. Secure the niche to the wall studs using appropriate fasteners (not included) if necessary, or rely on the adhesive tape and sealant for a secure fit.
4. Step 4: Seal Seams. Apply waterproof sealant to all seams around the niche's flange where it meets the wall. This creates a watertight seal, preventing moisture penetration. Allow the sealant to cure completely according to the manufacturer's instructions before proceeding with tiling or finishing the wall.

5. Operation and Usage

Once installed, the VEVOR shower niche provides a convenient and organized space for storing various items. The double-layer design allows for separation of items, such as shampoo, conditioner, soap, and other toiletries.

Recommended Uses:

• Shower storage for shampoo, soap, and toiletries.
• Recessed shelving in bathrooms, kitchens, or other rooms.
• Decorative display niche.

6. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and appearance of your VEVOR shower niche, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:

• Regular Cleaning: Wipe the surface with a damp cloth to remove soap scum, water spots, and general grime. For stubborn stains, a mild, non-abrasive cleaner designed for stainless steel can be used.
• Avoid Abrasives: Do not use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals, as these can scratch the polished finish and damage the stainless steel.
• Dry After Use: While the niche is designed for drainage, wiping it dry after each use can help prevent water spot buildup and maintain its pristine appearance.
• Check Sealant: Periodically inspect the waterproof sealant around the niche's edges for any signs of wear, cracking, or deterioration. Reapply sealant as needed to maintain a watertight barrier.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your VEVOR shower niche, consider the following:

• Water Accumulation: Ensure the niche is installed correctly with the 92° sloped drip edge facing downwards to facilitate drainage. Verify that the wall behind the niche is properly sealed and waterproofed.
• Loose Installation: If the niche feels loose, inspect the sealant and fasteners. Reapply sealant or add additional fasteners if necessary to secure it firmly to the studs.
• Rust or Discoloration: While made of 304 stainless steel, prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning agents can affect the finish. Refer to the maintenance section for proper cleaning. If rust appears, it may be surface rust from external sources; clean immediately with a stainless steel cleaner.
