Understanding the 2-Degree Sloped Advantage
When water sits flat on a shelf, it tends to pool, leave mineral deposits, and create extra cleaning chores. Think of it like a well-designed sidewalk that naturally sheds rainwater away from a doorway instead of letting puddles form. This ALFI brand niche solves that exact issue by engineering a subtle 2-degree slope into the long horizontal side of the shelf. This clever angle guides water right off the surface almost instantly, keeping your soaps and shampoos drier and your maintenance routine simpler.
Installation Guide
Measure your wall space carefully to match the required 14 1/2" x 14 1/2" cutout dimensions between standard studs.
Secure the niche firmly into the wall opening using the pre-applied adhesive strips on the back edges following the included instructions.
Apply a waterproof sealant around the outer perimeter flange to ensure a watertight bond against the wall surface.
Wipe down the stainless steel surface periodically with a soft cloth and mild soap to maintain its brushed finish.
Care & Maintenance
Regular Wiping Clean the stainless steel surface weekly using a soft cloth or sponge with warm water and mild liquid dish soap.
Water Spot Prevention Dry the niche with a clean microfiber towel after your shower to prevent water spots and mineral buildup.
Avoid Harsh Cleaners Never use abrasive scouring pads, steel wool, or harsh chemical bleach that could damage the brushed finish.
Rinse Thoroughly Always rinse away any soap or shampoo residue completely during routine cleaning sessions.
Protect the Finish Use a specialized stainless steel cleaner occasionally to preserve the polished PVD appearance over time.
