Shower Benches: Waterproofing and Tile-Ready Construction

Shower benches add seating, storage support, and design flexibility to a wet area. Because they are exposed to water, the bench should be integrated into the same waterproof system as the shower walls and pan.

Bench design factors

Consider the bench size, height, position, load support, tile layout, and connection to nearby walls. The top surface should be planned so water does not collect against the wall or at the front edge.

Waterproofing connections

Pay close attention to inside corners, outside corners, seams, fasteners, and transitions between the shower bench, backer board, and shower pan. Compatible waterproofing accessories help create a continuous assembly before tile is installed.

Tile-ready performance

Lightweight foam shower benches can simplify handling and shaping while providing a waterproof core and a cement-coated surface for tile. Confirm the selected product is appropriate for the intended application and finish materials.
