How To Tile A Shower Niche With A Quartz Base And Metal Edging 

I couldn't find anyone that detailed out cutting and setting the trim pieces. THANK YOU!

Thank you for this. I am starting a 60x30 shower project and have a niche that looks like that. Haven't done shower tile and this will really help me. Great idea on the quartz shelf.

Very nice job. I used the same profile instead of a bull nose tile at the end of the shower wall. I found it to be less forgiving in that area because the thinset grit and the material thickness raise it off the wall slightly. This causes your wall tile to be at a very slight angle on the wall. Combine that with the cut edge of the ceramic tile is slightly thicker than the factory edge and not the tile sits slightly proud of the profile. Fitting you to pray the grout line will make it look somewhat acceptable. On the shower niche you can use all factory edges and fill in behind the profile with thinset so it has a much cleaner look. If I had to do it all over again I would have special ordered a profile to match the cut edge of my tile. No one seems to stock a variety of sizes in the polished nickel. Just pointing that out for your viewers. Your installation looks perfect.

I watched a lot of videos on RU-vid about making a niche however you’re the only one who talks about the slope be in 1/8 and that’s the answer I was searching for.

IMO, this is the best tutorial on how to tile a niche. Thank you sir.

THANK YOU AZIM!!! I have watched many niche installations but your's really the most detailed and easy to follow . I will be follow your RU-vid skills! You are VERY skilled and talented. You have made my life easier! God Bless and Happy New Year!

Very detailed one of the best I have seen on Niche. it's very helpful for my project.

I love the one piece quartz shelf! Clean look! Nice job!

Nicely done. I like the use of the quartz base. Beautiful shower.

Azim, thank you for your tiles videos. You have the best tile niche videos on youtube. I tiled my niche exactly the way you do and professional results. Thanks for sharing.

Looks great! The only thing I’d do differently esthetic-wise, is match the tile orientation on the linear drain to the rest of the shower floor…that would make it more seamless looking.

Nice work. You gave me a great idea to extend my thin shower niche by using a ledger of quartz. Well DOne

Nice work ! You have a ton of talent and patience.

Fantastic. You should be really proud of yourself. Quartz base is really nice

Leave room between the metal and tile for grout, I also believe water can get inside the miter cuts because there is no grout between the miter joints

Nice. I’m always a fan of the tiles installed vertically.

Best one I've seen!!! Great video great quality craftsmanship

I'm sure that shower will hold up for years , well done...I would say however that you don't really need to make those dog ears on sill, as once you install the side nitche pieces you would have a half inch dog ear naturally without notching and I believe that's enough without having to worry about them ever being broken off. Also when installing the mosiac tiles on nitche back you should space a slight joint against sill , this way the grout or better yet silicone has a space to go in. I never butt tiles to tiles without a slight gap.. .

Thank you for a great video! You answered all of the questions I had for the project I was working on (even what edging I wanted to use. The AE100 looks amazing! The niche looks great!

Amazing, well explained video! Keep up the good work 👍🏽

Thank you for this great video ... I applied your technique to my own shower and it looks amazing.

Cool idea looks awesome 👍

great job my Friend!! very nice!1

It's a good video. I was surprised to see the chipped edges between the tile and the profile, or why you wouldn't take a diamond pad and polish those tile chipped edges before setting the tile. Grout doesn't cover chips. Also that the anchor legs weren't embedded in thinset before setting tile over them. Anyway, still hard work and looks good.

I like your work and video. very detailed and educaative. Thanks very much. I leant a lot from it..

Master!!!

Good work sir exilent

You do a very good job.Wish mine looked that neat.

Nice job, well explained and demonstrated. Thanks 😊

Wonderful video. Thankyou from Australia.

Damn I wish I had the time to learn how to do this!!! Excellent work bro!!!

What a nice job brother, learned a lot from you, thank you for posted this wonderful video!

Very nice!!

Very nice job all around. I like the tile choices and how you 45’d the metal edging.

Men good work nice cutting nice setting..👍🏻

Excelente trabajo amigo, saludos desde Argentina

Absolutely beautiful work and equally fantastic step by step process! I do have a question: why did you use 3 pieces for the top inside of the niche vs. 1 longer piece? My husband and I are cuter working on our bath remodel and are just wondering why you did it in 3 pieces across the top. Thanks in advance

nice work!

Outstanding job....I'd hire you 👍👌

Good stuff man! Turned out really nicely 😉

Excellent video brother. 👍 Just subscribed.

Nice work. Very clean job.

Super excelente trabajo, lo disfruté de principio a fin. Felicitaciones

Do you leave a gap between the metal trim pieces and the wall tile? Is the edge you filed against the back tile or the metal trim?

Good job guy. Well done.

Yeah that's nice

Beautiful work bro

Very good ~

Very nice

Well I'm working on my first bathroom tile project and I have a new appreciation for those that are good at this. This is a challenge but I'm getting there. What is your favorite grout? Are you familiar with Laticrete Spectralock 1 premixed grout? Thanks again. Jeff

nice job

I Would contract you to do mine in a second. Great job SIR!

Excellent work and great video! I am getting ready to do stacked 12x24 and a 2 foot wide niche because I only have 2 mosaics. Wondering why you went up past the 2nd tile and wider than the 2 tiles?

Clean work my boy

Looks awesome

GOOD WORK!

Lovely

Great job! Loved

Nice job.

Good job bro

Great job bro

Great job 👏

Awesome job!!!

Nice

Your jobs are very neat

What blade are you using? Also could you have tiled the back first and let it extend to the bottom edge of the niche, then installed the bottom ledge to butt up with the back tiles like you did with the sides and top of the niche?

Nice work. Couple questions please... when cutting the mosaic yile. What are you placing under the sheet to cut? Also, when cutting glass mosaics, do I need a special blade or use the porcelain blade I have? Thanks a bunch Jeff

👌👍

Very nice and precise!

awesome you did an amazing job bro I follow from Iraq

Nice work Azim. I'm curious why you didn't use tile edging to outline the niche instead of the metal. Customer preference?

nice work. like the attention to details.

Nice job man

Nice work Azim ;)

Good job, man😊

nice job!

Really like the quartz shelf. what thickness is that and where would I get something like this?

Beautiful work but Azim messed up grout by mixing Grout additive to Ultra Color Plus FA. This grout is strictly add water ONLY per manufacturer.

Nice work bruh!

Good job, beatiful from Spain🇪🇸

Alvin and the chipmunks do my head in!!!!

Nice work 👍🏻😉

Good 👏🏽👍🏽

شغل جميل

Beautiful!

Nice work. Question.. are you using a 7" blade on a 10" saw? I was thinking of doing that myself too lessen the radius. Do you see any problem with doing that? Thanks again Jeff

not bad, i would have flipped the metal trim to you dont have side lippage and it sits flush against outside tile

Can you tell me, should all the hexagons be flat? Should you be able to feel the edges of each hexagon or should the grout make them flush?

Muy bueno su trabajo excelente yo hago también lo mismo

nice job, how much is the quartz shelf protruding out and on the sides?

Good job by alex el tapatio Chanel

Whered you get that quartz shelf?!
