Your advice on a shower bench
Does anyone have a bench/ledge in their shower? I am after advice on depth and height. Also of problems with water lay if any. Ideally I would like to have the bench on the same wall as the shower. At this stage I have only found a 450mm arm and am concerned this is not long enough, have been advised not to have the shower from the ceiling. Something similar to photo. TIA.

Stone bench too advice
Comments (9)We are great thank you. Once you choose your stone, it will narrow down your colour options. Often stone will have a fleck of another colour through it, which you could match. You could pick two different shades of the same colour, or mix it up by using a bold colour and pairing it back with a more subdue colour. You could also mix textures. Depends what you like and what feel you are going for....See MorePendant lights above kitchen island bench... Advice!!
Comments (8)thanks so much. I want to draw the attention to the champagne candy pendants and to be the feature behind the dull brown overheads. I'm thinking it's ok to mix metals. I forgot to add the canopy rangehood which will be installed behind the pendants. I hope it won't clash! My stainless steel kitchen appliances are yet to be installed....See MoreShower bench tile
Comments (15)I'd replace and go with the diagonal pattern also, despite the cost (you've got to look at it for a long time yet presumably). I think the existing look comes undone because the tiles on the bench laid as they are appear to add yet another design element to the area and actually make a feature of the bench itself. I personally wouldn't want to make a statement piece of the bench itself. If the tiles were laid diagonally, I think the bench would flow seamlessly from the wall into the floor. Similarly, if you highlighted the edge of the bench with the "decorative strip" tile, I think the bench again becomes the feature piece. Lovely roomy shower enclosure though, nice job....See MoreHelp! Need advice on timber bench choice
Comments (8)Hi jh13, I don't know what you are using for your cabinet faces or your other bench tops, or how you need your island bench top to perform to give a fully considered reply, however based on your just your question, I would suggest using Blackbutt tops or if you want lots of this "rustic" effect, then you may also like to consider as an option. Hope this helps, Malcolm....See Moredreamer
4 years agoIf the ledge is just for toiletries, the. 150mm depth would be fine. Again making sure the the shower head centre is at 500mm from wall. We have a tall ledge with this set up. Gives plenty of room for a good ergonomic shower.

4 years agolast modified: 4 years agoOne low-cost idea for shampoo bottles is to measure your average sized shampoo and conditioner containers then adding a few centimetres all round, purchase a commercial quality, smooth stainless steel lasagne tray no ridges or trademarks, not too big.
The builder will then create a recess in the convenient shower wall to insert the baking tray vertically. Tile over the 1 or cm rim. Angle it slightly to allow run off.
I had a Google and the closest pan I could find is this lasagne pan which was on Amazon. Imagine it on its side with bottles standing on 'the shelf'.
