If that's a load bearing wall which it does appear to be based off the framing and exterior plywood then exactly. Regardless being a tile guy myself I frame niche out with a header king queen jack studs for code and integrity if the house makes a dramatic shift, i know my tile isn't gonna pop and cause structual issues on a load bearing or partician wall lol
Dawg, u gotta frame that niche with king queeen jack studs, and insulate it lol.. that framing is not right😂. Not hard to frame that out right. Coming from a tile guy myself lol
At first I was nervous that you cut those studs but didn’t carry that weight with anything, but then you came thru at 4:26 and put my fears to rest 😂🤣😂
Heh...if it was load bearing it would probably smash down on the blade on his sawzall and get locked up. Definitely know ahead of time if what you are cutting is load bearing though!
Nice job. Question. There is no surface behind the wall where I want to install a niche (fibreglass tub surround). Is it ok to install as long as I have 2xs to fasten pre fab niche to
Really good job, but do you not use silicon on the wedges ? we always use silicon on all the wedges on the wall and floor, in Europe. I figured out that on a few years of use some tiles crack because of the movements of the house and pressure from the corner. with some flexible silicon it can work without cracking the tiles.
I agree this is great work. I am going to use this video for my staff. There is a lot of material u have here in the video we just can't get overseas. How many hours did you have into doing that shower?
I came across this video. I think he does really good work. I've been a contractor over 20yrs years. So, I know good work when I see it. But, I had to watch with the sound off. He mumbled so much. I couldn't understand what he was saying.
That’s an exterior, load bearing wall that you just hacked to install that niche. Your going to definitely get some movement on that wall now and it’ll transfer into your tile work. Cracked grout and loose or cracked tiles. An you now have no insulation behind the niche. No bueno sir.
Nice bro! I would leave a gap between the metal edge and the tile for some grout, also in the miter cut where the two metals touch
Im just glad I found this video before I did the tiling. Currently putting up cement board. Very Good and Thank You.
Hey, you are a genius man!! Great video, excellent share.🇬🇾🇬🇾👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽💯
Man you did an amazing job!!! Really skilled.
Nice job 👍
Except for the fact that this will not pass building code, nice job!

It’s art work my friend. Incredible job I learned a lot thank you sir
did you sand/polish the niche base granite. It looks really nice :)
Beautiful work. You show attention to detail
Love the niche. However, I think you should have placed it on a slight slant outward to avoid water buildup.
The EZ Niche has slope built in to promote water shed
@@austinlongacre8844 Good to know. I don’t think that was made clear in your video or I wouldn’t have commented.

It is a load bearing wall, he needs to learn how to frame and put a header in there loo
Nice to see the frost grout you used with the marble look tile. I was thinking of this colour but may go with light grey now. Thanks.

This video was exceptionally helpful, thank you!!!
To confirm. That is an outside wall where the niche is installed, correct? Nice work.
Good Job!
Another great piece of work and mastered technique !
Hi Azim so beautiful done love ur work God bless you 🙏🌼
Excelente trabajo
Gracias hermano bendiciones
Very nice work but I don't understand the benefit of purchasing a prefabricated niche. Why not save the expense and simply build the waterproof niche?
It probably comes out to a similar cost, when factoring in extra labor, for cutting all the pieces for something custom fabricated.
Hello, what type of plastic did you use behind the durock? Can you also use aqua paper? Thank you
The plastic is optional
I dont use aqua paper
Really good job, but do you not use silicon on the wedges ?
we always use silicon on all the wedges on the wall and floor, in Europe.
I figured out that on a few years of use some tiles crack because of the movements of the house and pressure from the corner.
with some flexible silicon it can work without cracking the tiles.
silicon at corners? What do you mean "wedges" (at the niche?)? thanks for respoinding, I am doing this now in europe
yes, sorry, i meant the Inside corners and Joints.@@ramsareit
caulk the corners
Your the man great job 👍🏼

From a local granite fabricator in Orlando

Would look better with a dark grout. But nice job.

Where do you get those sills for the niche?
It's a peace of quartz. I usually order it from a local granite and quartz fabricator
👍
Granite is the absolute WRONG MATERIAL to install in a shower.
You have a lot to learn buddy. One vertical grout line fits and the other don't. If you ever work for my clients they will boot you out in a minute.
What do you mean buddy?

Man, I commented too soon…you installed it ON TOP of the board? Holy hell let’s see how the rest of this goes!
