A Shower Seat and Split Niche on Okaview Road

A fold-down seat, hand shower and two-level niche share a compact Kelowna shower. Clear panels let the window light reach the tiled interior.

Setting the fittings before the tile

The June job notes record a layout discussion about the seat, backing, niche and tile end point before the shower walls were closed. The crew framed the niche, installed the backing and waterproofed the enclosure. A construction photograph catches the opening while tile spacers are still in place. The finished view shows the two compartments that fit within it.

Fitting the glass around the seat

The seat folds against the wall under the hand shower. The crew installed the seat and sealed the niche before bringing in the glass. They fitted the glass with channel and glazing shims, then returned to remove the shims, complete the silicone and install the grab bar. The enclosure can be seen open to the room and from inside the shower.
