Alba 12″ × 48″ Bathroom Wall Niche
48 in
One run, no shelf, no divider. Nothing else in the Classic line reaches that far. Over the tub is where it goes most often, and it runs the line of the bath straight from one wall to the other. The other common spot is an open walk-in shower, which gives you no return wall to take a vertical niche. At this length the niche stops being storage and starts being architecture, and whatever you set inside is displayed as much as it is stored.
The numbers
- Overall, flange included: 49 1/4 in wide × 13 1/4 in high × 4 in deep
- Recessed body, the part that disappears into the wall: 48 in wide × 12 in high
- One bay across the whole length, no shelf
- Flange: 5/8 in overlap onto the tile, 3/16 in projection
- Rough opening: 48 1/4 in wide × 12 1/8 in high
- Minimum wall depth: 4 in
Framing comes first
You decide on this model at framing, not at tiling. Over a 48 in span, a one-piece box settles in a single install what a site-built tiled niche asks you to chase tile by tile. So the 48 1/4 in opening gets planned with your contractor, before the drywall goes up. Zvelt’s manual describes an optional step it recommends, lining the sides of the opening with drywall and then bonding the waterproofing membrane inside the box. Afterward the flange overlaps the tile cut by 5/8 in all around.
Finishes and coverage
All eight Zvelt finishes are offered on the Alba: matte black, brushed stainless steel, matte white, glossy white, matte grey, mirror, black PVD and gold PVD. Against manufacturing defects, Zvelt covers PVD finishes for 3 years, and baked powder-coated finishes and brushed stainless steel for 2 years. Full terms travel with the niche, inside the installation manual. Zvelt makes its niches in Boucherville, Quebec.

Zvelt recommends cleaning your doghouses with a damp cloth and mild soap. The use of brushes, abrasive cleaners, scrapers, steel wool pads, and metal spray cans can damage the doghouse's surface and should be avoided.
IMPORTANT : Remove soap residue and other cosmetic products between uses and wipe off excess water. Prolonged contact with these products may leave an imprint on the surface. The use of microfiber cloths is recommended. To prevent oxidation, do not allow contact with steel accessories. Use conventional non-abrasive cleaning products. Avoid contact with nail polish remover, hair removal cream, or paint thinner.
