Prefab Niche in Shower --- How to Remove Stud
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 15 ส.ค. 2022
- If you want to do a horizontal niche in a shower, you will most likely need to remove studs in the way. If it is an exterior or load bearing wall, a header will need to be placed to support the studs and roof above, but if it is a non-load bearing wall, you can just cut out the stud.

When you use a sawzal on a wall cutting out a stud take a couple 2x4s and screw them to the studs on either side of the one your cutting and it will keep the vibration from messing up the drywall on the other side . Just alittle tip and thanks for the video hope all is well with you and your family
Thanks so much for providing such informative remodel videos! We are in the middle of our DIY bathroom remodel and have gained a lot of what to do and what not to do from them. The biggest game changer for us was using the Jacuzzi MZ20000 Direct Drain Kit that you demonstrated for making a soaking tub installation a breeze. It was perfect for our situation! Thanks again!
Great video Isaac as usual. Thank you for showing your work so that we can learn.
I like that you support small American businesses.
I have started turning the 2x4 and doubling them. I saw one shower niche fail due to a 1/4 inch sag/twist that formed in the cut boards around the niche. Only once out of hundreds of shower jobs, but that was the way those involved felt it could best be prevented. Not a critique at all, just a comment. Love the channel and you work is great!
Do you mean reinforcing that shit?, sounds like a good idea, especially if you are doing a shower you care about (your own)
Thx for this Isaac and definitely been seeing an uptake is RSS products, and really like that they offer different drain options, that works w/ like everyone, along w/ their website to order what ya need and even have you upload a drawing. Think it’s pretty nice products and processes and can easily speak w/ a rep if have questions or need advice/help by phone, email, txt. I to also like the foam wall boards (pro series), over HD series using the sheet membrane ; and a good product (similar to other membranes), but just like the speed and “ease” of the Pro vs HD personally.
Thx for the vid, and have a great day/week, cheers✌🏻
You Rock soo good at what ya do!
The Japanese have some incredible, hand held, manual wood saws. Accurate as hell and real quick for taking out studs delicately in awkward places.
Indeed. I was going to say, this would be a good application of a Japanese wood saw.
Never use a sawzall on studs with finsished drywall you’re trying to preserve. WAAAAY too much vibration. You’ll pop the taped joints around the stud every time.
people seem to be afraid to use a regular manual saw these days...
@@peaceranger7215 My thought exactly, small hand saw finishes the cut easily.
@@als4817 That's what I would have used. Not sure if he had the space though.
What if you run saws all slowly
You can use the multi tool to cut the screw before tearing it off to prevent damage on the other side.
Which blades are you using to cut the screws? I haven't found a multi tool blade that can cut through more than 1 screw without destroying the blade. I have used biablo, Milwaukee, Lenox, imperial, etc
@@travisk5589 Titanium or carbide
@@mrscott01 both.
Excellent job. How height should you install a prefabricated niche from the floor? Thanks so much
Skip the sawzall. Start by using the buzz saw behind the stuff to cut the fasteners.Then use the circular saw and get the depth a little closer to the full 3 and a half inches and finish with a hammer or the buzz saw
I don’t think I’ve ever watched you explain how you get the finish location of that pre-made niche to line up with the full tile. This is one thing o still struggle with. And when it’s off, it creates that ridiculous sliver. By then it’s too late. Thanks. This was a good one.
What I do is lay out the tiles that you will be installing on the floor somewhere with the spacers you’ll be using, wether it’s tile clips or spacers or both. Determine how many rows of tiles you want till you get the niche. Measure bottom of tiles to the top of tiles before niche. At least now you have a number you can then transfer to your wall and then cut out for niche. Hope that helps.
At the very least you want your tiles a little bit above the bottom of your niche, you’ll just have to add a little more thinset to build it up. But you don’t want to be slightly below your niche then you’ll have sliver tiles which like you said looks ridiculous.
Nice video. What kind of wallboard is that?
I’ve been picking your brain here on your channel, I’m a plumber by trade and as far as tile goes I’ve only ever done my own tile in my house. I’m currently working on my shower and I wanted to ask what is a good grout for the shower walls with 1/8 grout lines? I would like to avoid the possibility of efflorescence and something that is durable and is also easy to clean up. Keep in mind I’m no tile expert.
I have access to Mapei, polyblend, and prism brands
Video editing tip. If you show a finished product shot, after all was done. You’ll get many more hits on your posts. Viewers want to see the end finished outcome!
What's the trick for a niche that has the niche land on the grout lines clean? I have seen some niche installs where they have a very small sliver in place. Any advise, guidance or video? Thanks in advance!
OK. Maybe not bad but I will put two 2x4 vertical on the too. Maybe overkill bit it will prevent cracks in case something heavy comes on the top. Or vibrations from the roof. And like they said to cut the nails with the multitool... I wouldn't. It's so much vibration cutting that type of steel that your way is much better. Can cause cracks on the whole wall.. All greetings form sunny Croatia! 🏖️🇭🇷🙂
A sawzall?? LOL! C MON MAN! I thought you were worried about the finished room? Lol. Hopefully they didn't have any pictures hanging. Great video though
Heya. I've been enjoying your videos for a year or so. I recently remodeled my small bathroom. I relocated the shower drain and used a Kerdi kit. While I did the shower floor, I had a tile guy do the shower walls.
My question is; Would you mount the brackets for the (very large) fixed glass panel by drilling into the 3/16" grout line, or center it better and drill through the tile? Porcelain over Kerdi membrane over 5.8" sheetrock. I can go into wood either way. I just figured drilling grout would be better than drilling tile.
I would go through the tile personally... Just my opinion.
Thanks. I've never drilled tile before. I did glass a LOT of years ago. I understand that bit is no good for porcelain?
@@AlGrahamPhoto you'll need a diamond tipped drill bit for porcelain. It's possible you already have the correct bit, as glass calls for the same. Just Google it to be sure 😃 Good luck with everything!
Do you recommend applying a small layer of spray foam behind the niche - between the dry wall and the back of the niche?
Are you installing on an exterior wall? If it's an interior wall, definitely not.
Hey Zach quick question, Do you paint your coating on the wall board before installing? or is that the type of wall board? Thanks
It's pre-waterproofed out of the box...like a Wedi system.
Make sure you put the sealant between each wallboard too or any boards that go next to each other like in corners too etc
Do you know the brand of wall board that is?
Very nice. This seems far easier (wallboard) than floating . I still don't really see why you float. In NZ we just use green gib and waterproof it.
Please show how to do this with metal framing ... wood is very easy
Would be great if you showed how to do a nich in an already finished shower
How long was the screw that you used to secure the horizontal studs? Could you have used some time of Simpson Strong Tie to secure the horizontal stud? If so which one?
Don’t overthink it. Just about any screw around 3” would work.
Where do you get the prefab niche? Did I miss the info on the vid?
What’s the caulking you use? Can you just use thinset instead?
So the only thing holding the Niche in place is the temporary screw on the top and bottom?
I would at a minimum double your 2x4s on top put them on edge and sandwich a piece of 1/2 plywood between them. 1 2x4 on the flat side is not nearly enough when removing a stud!
Can you cut those studs below the window and frame in an area for a wider niche? Is that a recipe for disaster?
Are there any tips for cutting the hole into the backer board that accurately? Looks like it was done off camera…
Maybe install the wallboard first and then cut out for the niche after. You’ll also have to do the framing after wallboard as well which might be a little bit more difficult. I think it’s more common to do the wallboards does and then niche.
what is the significance of the washers?
So you can I put a niche in an exterior wall that doesn't have a window?
Kick ass
Do you think prefab niches are preferable or better?
following up on this
👍
Hold on ... Im a makita man 100x and you switching back and forth with Dewalt. Its a crime 😆 .. Good work i wish makita would sponser me...
Thanks! For being you, weird sounding, maybe; but think get what mean…if not, your a great guy and tell how it is and have good heart & team/Fam behind you. All can give for now, but wanted to say thanks.😄
Maybe it's my paranoia, but I feel like there needs to be a metal plate on the back of that niche, between it and the drywall. It's all great until someone hangs a picture in that bedroom and puts a wall anchor right through the back of the niche that's just made out of wallboard.
I have thought the same thing many a times. I have put in tons of these and can't believe I've never had a repair for such a thing
Why such a small niche? After tile an mortor it's going to be way smaller.
I'm sure this is the size that the customer either wanted or could afford. It's what the customer wants not what the contractor wants that matters.
now put a light into it.
Are the niche from RSS as well?
Safety police lol.
take a multi tool before and cut the heads off of the drywall screws. Then no touch up needed. =]
No such word as “Acrossed” or “Accrost”. Not picking on you because too many people speak horrible English. Across is the only way to say it. 🤷🏽♂️

Let the stupid comments begin.
You don't no nuffin.
@@mrscott01 you’ve said Enuff. lol
Who you calling stoopid?
Glad you're not picking on Isaac. Judgmental people are no good. 🤣🤣
English is dynamic and changing language based on different pronunciations. It’s not nitch, it’s niche (neesh) but if everyone uses both, both are ok.
I want more info on the black board. Where and what is it
