Does the stainless steel shower niche have a dedicated drain hole or sink?

Stainless steel shower niches are usually designed with water flow considerations in mind, but not all models are equipped with dedicated drainage holes or sinks. For niches with drainage design, their drainage holes or sinks are designed to prevent water accumulation during showering. Especially for niches embedded in walls, if designed properly, these drainage holes can effectively guide water flow outward, prevent water accumulation, keep the niche dry, and prevent mold growth. Drainage holes are usually located at the bottom or back of the niche to ensure smooth drainage of water. This design is particularly important for environments with frequent use of showers, as failure to drain in a timely manner may result in water stains, soap residue, and mineral accumulation, thereby affecting the appearance and durability of stainless steel.
However, many stainless steel shower niches do not come with drainage holes, which means that without proper installation angles or drainage designs, water may accumulate inside the niches. In this case, water flow may accumulate at the bottom due to improper angles, resulting in residual water stains and dirt. Therefore, when selecting and installing stainless steel niches, it is very important to consider drainage design, especially if the water quality in your area is hard or the amount of water during showering is large. If there is no built-in drainage hole, it is recommended to choose a niche with drainage function or ensure that it has sufficient inclination angle to guide the water flow smoothly.
