Another excellent video! It really helps when you give a running commentary like this. It's nice to see your rationale for decision making and how you approach little issues as they arise. Excellent channel for the DIYer. You deserve more subs so hope the channel grows consistently! Thanks for making the effort to do this 👍👏👏
Thanks so much for the kind words! And it's good to know you like that style. It's always hard to find the best way of getting the information out. You're welcome, Glad you're enjoying the videos 👌
Could you please tell me what the standard height of a niche should be?.. this video was so unbelievably helpful! We have the same type of tile with ridges and our tile installation is happening in a couple of days. Thank you so much for making this video.
Awesome, Perfect timing! Around 1.2 metres (which is normally half height of a room) is always a good starting point. Then really after that, It depends on you height for reaching things and ease of use e.t.c. Then after that it's good to take into account the tiles..It's nice to work a full tile off the bottom of the niche (if it works out fine every else) if possible as it visually looks better than a cut. The one is this video was about 1.35 I think. Normally when the niche is being made though we oversize it, and shrink it to the tiles, as it's a lot easier to add backerboard to it to reduce the size to fit the tile, if that makes sense. So for example if you had tiles that were 60cm and you wanted your niche at 1.2M finish height, So roughly 2 tiles to the floor from the niche..2x tiles plus a 2mm spacer would be around 1.22m. But I'd actually make the niche lower at about 1.18 off finish floor height, That gives 2cm ish wiggle room, and allows the trim to be installed like in this video (as you have to overlap it by a tiles width). Bit long winded but I hope that makes some kind of sense, ha. But yes somewhere around 1.2 give or take is a good standard height.
