Ledge Products has introduced a line of shower niches made from recycled engineered fiber cement and designed to sit flush with cement-board or plaster walls. The niche’s tapered edges allow for easy water drainage, and Ledge says the interior surfaces bond well to adhesive sealants. Once installed with thinset or mortar, the niche may be waterproofed and finished with the same surfacing as the rest of the shower space. Ledge’s single shower niches are available in four sizes and range from $40 to $80 in price. ledgeproducts.com
