Our niches are made to offer sophisticated and discreet storage solutions within the bathroom space. Manufactured from high quality materials, these recessed structures not only optimise space but also add a distinctive design element to any bathroom.
Solid Surface: a hygienic, practical and durable solution that enhances the quality and design of any project.
Unlike the stainless steel, which generates condensation and humiditySolid Surface offers a high thermal stabilityThis prevents the formation of drops between the niche and the wall. This makes it a more hygienic and durable optionideal for wet areas such as showers, since it prevents leaks, mould and deterioration of finishes.
Our niches are easy to clean and repel moisture and dirtThey remain impeccable with the minimum of effort. On the other hand, those of stainless steel require constant maintenance to avoid water stains, fingerprints and possible signs of corrosion in daily use.
The solid surface is completely watertight thanks to its manufacture, prevents leaks and moisture accumulation. In contrast, stainless steel can exhibit joints where water seeps inThe development of dampness in the corners or after installation.
The solid surface absorbs sound when placing objects or receiving water, creating a quiet and relaxing environment in the bathroom. On the other hand, the stainless steel generates metallic noise with every impact or splash, which is annoying in spaces where tranquillity is sought. The difference in acoustic comfort is remarkable.
Feature | Solid surface | Stainless steel |
|---|---|---|
Condensation | It does not generate condensation. Its solid, non-porous structure prevents water accumulation on the back side and protects the wall from dampness. | It generates condensation easily, which can transmit moisture to the walls. |
Maintenance | Easy to clean, with stain and moisture repellent surfaces. | ✖ Requires regular maintenance to avoid water stains or corrosion. |
Material | ✔ Composed of high quality resins | ✖ Stainless steel only |
Watertightness | Completely watertight, ideal for preventing leaks and dampness. | Not watertight: water can seep in through joints or corners, causing build-up.
|
Noise when placing objects or water | Absorbs sound when placing objects or receiving water, providing a quiet bathing or showering experience. | Generates metallic noise on impact or splashing, especially annoying in quiet environments. |
Hygiene | Seamless, smooth and antibacterial surface. Prevents dirt build-up and facilitates cleaning. | ✖ Prone to damp stains. No antibacterial properties and no continuous surface. |
Durability | High resistance to shocks, cleaning agents and intensive use. Ideal for high humidity areas. | Although resistant, it can corrode if high-grade stainless steel is not used. |
Aesthetics | ✔ Modern, smooth and elegant finish; available in white or matt black. | ⚠ More industrial aesthetics and limited variety. |
Feature | Solid surface | Stainless steel |
|---|---|---|
Material | Composed of high quality resins. | Stainless steel. |

Noise when placing objects or water | They absorb noise when objects are placed on them or when splashed with water. | Generate noise on impact or splashing. |
Condensation | It does not generate condensation, preventing moisture damage to surrounding walls. | It generates condensation, which can transmit moisture to the walls. |
Hygiene | Smooth, seamless surface with antibacterial properties. | No antibacterial properties; prone to moisture staining. |
Durability | High resistance to shock, water and wear and tear | High strength, but susceptible to corrosion if not made of high quality stainless steel. |
Aesthetics | Smooth and modern finish, available in black and white. | More industrial aesthetics and limited variety. |
Maintenance | Easy to clean, with stain and moisture repellent surfaces. | Requires regular maintenance to avoid water stains or corrosion. |
