Stainless steel doesn't rust.

Is there a brand of stainless steel niche that is better quality than others?

I actually do not like shower niches I find they hold water and always seem to be dirty with soap scum etc.There are so many options for shelving that IMO look better and make more sense.

Here's a cleaning tip for stainless/brushed nickel surfaces: WD-40. It cleans well and keeps water spots from hanging around.

Hi bgs990,

Although I am a bathroom and kitchen remodeling contractor, I was involved in the design and production of The Redblock stainless steel shower niche. I can't speak for other stainless steel shower niche manufactures however, I can tell you that the Redblock niche is made from T304, 18 gauge stainless steel, by a manufacturer that makes kitchen sinks. They use the same steel and the same welding techniques so it is designed for constant water exposure. Check it out if you like.
