Features
When building your dream shower, you don't want to forget to include a shelf to hold your soaps and shampoos. Schluter-KERDI-BOARD-SN is a prefabricated shower niche designed to aid in shower shelf and niche construction. The niches are formed from Schluter-KERDI-BOARD tile substrate panels and are designed to act as an all-in-one tile substrate, waterproof seal, and structural stabilizer. It eliminates one of the most time consuming parts of constructing shower niches from scratch: forming perfect corners. This saves you both time and money from reduced labor cost. Build your ultimate shower today with a Schluter shower niche.
Completely Waterproof
KERDI-BOARD-SN niches are entirely waterproof and vapor-retardant, making them the perfect solution to building a custom shower.
Temperature Resistant and Thermally Insulating
The temperature resistant properties of the Schluter-KERDI-BOARD-SN shower niche make it an ideal building panel for showers, as it can act as an insulation board as well as a flat tile substrate.
Fleece Webbed Surface
The fleece webbed surface coating on Schluter-KERDI-BOARD-SN adheres flawlessly to thin-set mortar, simplifying the installation of both Schluter tile profiles and most tile.

Answer
The 20" and 28" tall niches include a shelf while the 6" and 12" tall niches do not. The shelf comes free floating and can be installed at a height of your choosing, or you can choose to not install it at all.

Answer
If you are using one of Schluter's niches you can simply apply your Kerdi membrane to overlap the 2" niche flange and you will have a water tight seal. You can also watch this video detailing the installation.

Can I install my tile directly on to the Kerdi board, or do I still have to install wonder board over it?

Answer
You can install your tile directly over the Kerdi-Board. Make sure to cover all seams and screw holes with Kerdi-Band to ensure a waterproof surface.
