In my bathtub recession, which has not been tiled yet, i have a recessed box for things like shampoo etc. on the opposite side from the showerhead. The dimensions are 15" wide x 42" tall x 6" deep. What I would like to have inside the box are two glass shelves and what I would like is to mount the brackets along the depth dimension of the box, so two brackets on either side of both shelves.
Howeve, I do not know what specific product to use for this particular application. I was imagining something that is L-shaped in cross section and runs lengthwise and I can cut (e.g. with an angle grinder and then file around edges for costmetics). Something that would like like a drywall corner bead but of course be made of stainless steel and each side of the L would be approximately 1". I would drill holes to screw it into the studs that frame the box and then, when tiling, thinset and then tile would go over the side of the L where it attaches to the cement board so that only the protruding side is visible.
Q1: Does this sound like a feasible design?
Q2: What is the product that I am looking for? Think something that looks like a drywall corner bead but is stainles steel.
