style and fashion bath and showerHow do you install a corner stand up shower?
On new tile walls, the correct way to install a ceramic corner shelf is to set it directly into the thin-set mortar during tile installation. But you can add a corner shelf (or another soap dish) on existing tile. Stop by a tile shop and pick up a “flat-back” corner shelf unit (about $20).
Just so, where do you place a corner shower shelf?
A good rule of thumb is to place a shower corner shelf at about chest-height of the average user of the shower, although you should choose the height that makes the most sense for you and your space.
In this way, how do you build a corner shower?

More often than not, people are putting the soap dish on the same wall as the valves, due to the fact that the tub is usually used as a shower. If you plan to use it at for taking baths, then the normal placing in the bottom center of the long wall is best.
