Common Problems with Bath and Shower Shelves - Solved.

Slippery Shower Bath Shelves

If you love using bar soap, you'll learn to hate glass or tiled shelves for showers, simply because they're too slippery. That's why all the Redblock shower shelves have generous drainage slots. Slots that keep your bar soap in place, but are also easy to clean.

Water pooling

Since all the Redblock shelves for shower are designed with gaps behind them, they're fully separated from the back wall, eliminating any water pooling. That means no more scummy buildup along the wall, or bar soap melting into a lump of goo.

Rusty Shelves for Shower

Redblock was the first manufacturer to make shower shelves out of super corrosion resistant 316L Stainless Steel. Since 316 is used extensively in labs and on seagoing vessels, it has earned a reputation of corrosion resistance that's unmatched. It resists hard water corrosion, and corrosion from bleach-based cleaning products as well. All Redblock bathroom shower shelves are now fabricated exclusively with this hearty steel alloy.

Complicated Installation

Because of their 3mm thickness, Redblock rb3 shelves for shower install into standard 1/8" grout lines (or larger), which makes them a breeze to install. Our corner shelf installs in minutes into new or existing tiled shower walls; and our niche shelf installs into most prefab tile-ready niches. Our finished stainless steel niche installs into any new shower wall in less than 1/2 hour during shower wall construction.

If your shower corner is not 90 degrees (most showers), a standard corner shelf simply cannot attach firmly to both walls. In contrast, the rb3m corner shower shelf attaches to the wall with two install tabs that extend out 1 inch from the main shelf body (patented design). This allows our shelf to be installed into virtually any shower, whether the corner of your shower is greater or less than 90 degrees.

Flimsy Shower Metal Shelf

With Redblock shelves for shower, you can put your concerns aside. Our rb3 shelf install tabs are 3mm thick, making them much stronger than the competitors' shelves with their flimsy 1/16" install tabs. Their thickness (3mm) also makes them very rigid; less than 1mm deflection during an 11 lb weight test. And the shelves in our stainless steel niches are welded to the 1.2mm side body, for incredible strength and waterproof integrity.

Small Storage Area

Our rb3 corner shelves for shower come in two sizes. The Standard size has 31.2 square inches of storage area, and the XL shelf is 30% larger. The rounded corners of both these shelves allow them to extend out from the corner 2 inches less than the competition while providing the same storage area. And if you need even more corner storage, you can stack them vertically for as much storage as you like.

Crude Finishing

All Redblock shelves are fabricated using CNC machining. CNC machining creates ultra smooth, burr-free, tapered edges on all our shelf cutouts and edges. This represents a level of refinement that you won't find with any other shower/ bathroom shelves on the market. Super easy to clean, and no more snagging your favorite washcloth or cutting your finger on sharp edges.

Accessory Hangers

When you're finished showering, just hang up your washing puff, brush, cloth or loofah on one of the rb3's accessory hangers. When you enter the shower the next day, you'll find a dry washing puff. What a treat!

FAQ

What are the best types of shelves for organizing a shower?

There are so many shower shelf varieties, materials and installation methods that you need to narrow it down to only those that meet your specific needs. To find the right shower storage, you should first determine if you're installing into a new or existing shower; ease of installation, is an important factor to consider. Then decide exactly how much storage capacity you need - do you need a large capacity shelf for all your shower essentials, or will a smaller one do? Then factors like easy reach, adjustable shelves, removable hooks, and aesthetic preferences can also be considered. It's a big job, but if you approach it systematically, you'll eventually find your perfect shower organizer.

Which shower shelf materials are most durable and rust-resistant?

Rustproof stainless steel shower shelves made from 316 Grade SS is what you're looking for. Inferior grades of SS (304 Grade) and chromed/ coated shelves will eventually flake, chip and rust. As a remodel professional, I always install the Redblock shower corner shelf.

How do I choose a shower shelf that fits my bathroom style and size?

Shelves like the shower caddy organizer can provide all the storage you need, and come in a variety of styles, but they don't have much of an aesthetic appeal. Neither do the wide array of suction cup shower caddy's out there - they only detract from the shower experience in my professional opinion. My suggestion is to focus on shelves with smallest visual statement. I'm talking about the very low profile in-grout corner shelves mentioned above. These shelves are very subtle so are east likely to dominate or interfere with your bathroom design. And because they install into the corner grout line they're probably the least obtrusive shower shelves available, making them ideal for smaller shower spaces.

How do I install a shower shelf securely without drilling?

You should definitely install an in-grout stainless steel shower wall shelf if you're looking for strength, without drilling shelves into the shower wall (and through the waterproofing membrane). With easy installation into the grout line, these shelves have a modern minimalist look, and provide ample storage, especially when stacked.

Are corner shower shelves a good option for small bathrooms?

Corner shelves can be ideal shower storage solutions for small bathrooms because they're tucked away in the corner of the shower, so they can work well even in the smallest shower spaces. Another benefit is that you can basically have as many shelves as you like because there's lots of vertical space in the shower corner. However, you should look for an in-grout corner shelf or a shower head caddy if your space is small. You should also be wary of corner shower caddies (tension pole caddies) and door racks (that hang on the shower door) because they often extend into the shower area and can get in your way when showering.
