Transform your luxury bathroom projects with our precision-engineered 5-panel shower wall template featuring integrated niche and bench elements. This 60x36 inch configuration provides a complete fabrication solution for stone and solid surface shower installations that combine functionality with sophisticated design. Designed for professional fabricators, this template delivers exact specifications for creating seamless five-panel shower enclosures with built-in storage niches and seating. The 60-inch back wall paired with 36-inch side walls provides generous showering space while the included 8-inch return panels create elegant finished edges ideal for frameless glass installations. Each panel features precise cutouts and positioning guides for niche recesses and bench mounting, ensuring structural integrity and water management in high-end residential and commercial applications.
Installation Overview
Installation begins with careful measurement verification of your shower cavity dimensions to confirm compatibility with this 60x36 configuration. The five-panel system installs sequentially, starting with the back wall panel which serves as the primary reference surface. Side wall panels align with pre-marked guidelines, while return panels finish the edges with waterproof bonding. The integrated niche cutout typically positions between 48-54 inches from the shower base, while the bench seat mounts at standard 18-inch height for optimal ergonomics. All seams require appropriate waterproofing membranes and sealants rated for continuous wet environments. Professional installation ensures proper slope on horizontal surfaces for drainage and complete sealing of all panel joints.
CNC Cutting Notes
CNC fabrication of this template requires 3cm (1.25 inch) thick stone slabs with minimum dimensions of 120x60 inches to accommodate the largest panel components. Program your CNC router with appropriate tooling for stone type - typically 10mm and 6mm diameter diamond router bits for edge profiling and detail work. The niche recess requires careful depth control, cutting to 15mm depth for optimal shelf strength while maintaining structural integrity of the surrounding panel. Bench cutout follows similar depth parameters with radiused internal corners (minimum 10mm radius) to prevent stress concentration and cracking. All exposed edges should receive appropriate edge profiles - typically eased or quarter-round for safety and aesthetic appeal. Running time averages 45-60 minutes per panel depending on material hardness and CNC capabilities.
Material Compatibility
This template performs excellently with granite, quartzite, and engineered quartz materials in standard 3cm thickness. Marble and softer natural stones can be used but require additional structural considerations and sealing protocols for shower environments. Porcelain slabs work exceptionally well given their inherent water resistance and lower weight. For materials with prominent veining or patterns, review panel orientation before cutting to achieve optimal visual continuity across the five-panel installation. Darker colors may show water spotting more readily and benefit from enhanced sealing treatments.
