Product Information

Full details

The RAK Ceramics Ingot Recessed Niche is designed for homeowners and renovators seeking a sleek, integrated storage solution for their shower spaces. Its primary benefit is providing organized, accessible storage for toiletries without the visual clutter of traditional shelves, all while enhancing the shower's ambiance with built-in LED lighting. A key consideration is that its recessed nature requires wall modification during installation, making it suitable for new builds or major renovations rather than quick updates. This 300mm x 600mm niche features a durable 304-grade stainless steel construction with a modern matt black finish, a convenient internal shelf, and IP44-rated LED illumination.

What is the warranty period for this niche?

Can this niche be surface-mounted on the wall?

No, this is a recessed niche and requires installation into a chased-out section of the wall. It cannot be surface-mounted.

How do I clean the matt black finish?

Clean with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads to protect the electrophoretic coating.

What is the IP rating for the LED light?

The integrated LED illumination is IP44 rated, making it suitable for use in shower and bathroom environments.

Does it come with an installation manual?

While an installation manual is not explicitly mentioned in the product details, it is highly recommended to consult with a professional installer for recessed fitting and electrical connections.

Troubleshooting

LED light not working

Ensure the power supply to the LED is correctly connected and the circuit breaker is switched on. Verify the connection to the mains power by a qualified electrician. Check if the LED unit itself needs replacement.

Water pooling inside the niche

Confirm that the niche was installed with a slight slope away from the wall cavity to allow for drainage. Ensure no obstructions are blocking potential drainage paths. Check for any sealant issues around the niche edges.

Rust or corrosion spots appearing

While 304-grade stainless steel is highly resistant, prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals or certain stagnant water conditions can cause minor surface issues. Clean immediately with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Avoid using abrasive materials. Ensure regular cleaning and drying.

Shelf seems unstable

Verify that the shelf is correctly seated on its supports within the niche. Ensure no excessive weight is placed on the shelf that exceeds its recommended load capacity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The RAK Ingot Recessed Niche is designed for recessed installation. This means a section of the wall must be chased out to accommodate the unit's depth. This process is typically undertaken during the construction or renovation phase of a bathroom. Ensure the wall cavity is appropriately sized for the niche dimensions (300mm W x 600mm H x [depth to accommodate unit]). Electrical connections for the LED lighting must be made by a qualified electrician and should comply with all relevant building and safety regulations for bathroom installations.

Compatibility: This niche is designed to coordinate with the RAK Ingot basin and waste range for a unified aesthetic. The 304-grade stainless steel and IP44-rated LED are compatible with standard shower environments. It is compatible with most standard wall construction methods, provided the wall can accommodate a recessed unit.

Care: To maintain the matt black finish and ensure longevity, clean the niche regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the electrophoretic coating. For tougher marks, use a mild soap solution and rinse thoroughly with clean water. Dry the surface with a soft cloth after cleaning.
