XPS Wall Niche 300x300mm

Oceanic XPS Wall Niche
A wall niche is a recessed, built in cavity that is created within a wall, they are commonly used in showers and steam rooms to provide funtional storage. Manufactured from high density XPS foam, each niche provides a lightweight yet exceptionally strong structure that will not absorb water, making it far superior to traditional boxed out recesses built on site.
Pre-formed for precision, these niches arrive ready to install, saving time and ensuring a perfectly clean, even shape every time. 

What is XPS?
XPS board (Extruded Polystyrene board) is a high performance, rigid insulation material engineered for environments where moisture, heat, and structural stability matter. It is created through a continuous extrusion process that produces a dense, closed cell foam meaning each microscopic cell is fully sealed. This gives XPS its signature combination of strength, water resistance, and thermal efficiency.

What makes XPS board unique?
- Completely waterproof core: 
Unlike open cell foams that can absorb moisture, XPS’s closed cell structure prevents water from penetrating the board. This makes it ideal for wet rooms, steam enclosures, bathrooms, and spa environments where constant humidity is expected.
- Exceptional thermal insulation:
XPS boards trap heat efficiently, reducing warm up times and helping steam rooms maintain a consistent temperature. Their low thermal conductivity makes them more effective than many traditional insulation materials.
- Lightweight, yet highly robust:
Despite being easy to lift, cut, and shape, XPS boards are impressively rigid. They provide strong surface stability for tiles making them a preferred substrate in steam rooms and wellness installations.
- Vapour resistant:
Because XPS resists both moisture and vapour transfer, it helps prevent condensation build up inside walls and ceilings protecting the structure long term.
- Dimensionally stable:
It won’t warp, swell, or deteriorate when exposed to steam or temperature fluctuations, ensuring the steam room remains solid and sealed over many years.
