Designed for those looking to create depth and a three-dimensional aesthetic in wall decoration, the P08 wall niche brings classic architectural elements into modern living spaces. This exclusive decorative feature revitalizes flat wall surfaces, creating a prestigious display area for art objects, sculptures, or lighting fixtures. It offers the most practical and elegant way to establish a focal point in both interior and exterior designs.
With dimensions of 204 mm depth, 517 mm width, and 942 mm height, the P08 model provides an ideal recessed wall display. Manufactured from high-density rigid polyurethane (150-220 kg/m³), this niche matches the hardness of wood yet remains exceptionally lightweight. Thanks to its closed-cell structure, it has a water absorption rate of under 1%, ensuring safe use with resistance to moisture-related deterioration in environments ranging from humid bathrooms to harsh outdoor conditions. It maintains its shape within the dimensional stability test range -20 °C / +70 °C.
Featuring classic Baroque influences, the product stands out with its arched seashell-motif dome at the top. Elegant side column details and a smooth interior surface perfectly enhance the play of light and shadow on displayed objects. Delivered pre-primed from the factory, this decorative niche boasts fine craftsmanship and is highly resistant to breakage compared to plaster alternatives.
This decorative element is highly versatile, suitable for villa entrances, hotel lobbies, spacious living room walls, and restaurant corridors. Placing a stylish sconce inside can create a dim, dramatic ambiance. On exteriors, it can be positioned on either side of entrance doors or between floor moldings as a grand architectural accent.
Unlike heavy, fragile plaster or moisture-sensitive wood, this product is incredibly easy to install. It is mounted onto a clean, dry surface using Polure Polfix adhesive, secured mechanically with screws. Although the factory primer prepares the surface for painting, please note that paint manufacturers do not guarantee applications done without their own primers; therefore, applying an extra coat of primer before the final paint is entirely at the user's discretion. If used outdoors, the product must be painted with UV-resistant paint.

- The wall surface to be installed must be completely free of dust, dirt, and moisture
- Apply Polure Polfix polyurethane adhesive in strips to the back of the P08 niche
- Once the product is aligned and placed on the wall, mechanical fastening with screws is mandatory to ensure structural strength
- Fill screw holes and wall joints with acrylic exterior filler

Can polyurethane niches be used on exteriors?
Yes, thanks to its closed-cell structure, the P08 polyurethane niche is unaffected by rain, snow, and frost, making it perfectly safe for exterior use. However, since unpainted polyurethane can yellow under direct sunlight, it must be protected with UV-resistant exterior paint after installation.
Which adhesive should I use for installation? Is silicone suitable?
Silicone adhesives should strictly not be used for installation. To ensure a secure bond and long-term durability, Polure Polfix polyurethane adhesive is recommended. Additionally, for safety and weight support, mechanical fastening with screws is mandatory alongside the adhesive.
Can the product be used directly without painting?
The product is delivered pre-primed in white. However, to achieve a flawless, aesthetic finish and to conceal screw holes and joint fillers from installation, it should be painted after mounting. Furthermore, painting is a technical necessity for outdoor applications to provide UV protection.
What are the advantages of polyurethane niches compared to plaster ones?
Compared to plaster niches, polyurethane niches are exceptionally lightweight and carry a low risk of cracking or breaking during or after installation. Their details are much sharper and smoother. Additionally, being moisture-resistant, they can be used safely in wet areas like bathrooms and on exteriors without peeling or swelling.
Is it necessary to apply an extra coat of primer before painting?
The product surface comes pre-primed, making it ready for paint. However, paint manufacturers do not guarantee paint performance unless their own primers are used. Therefore, applying an additional coat of primer is optional and entirely at the customer's discretion. Polure does not offer warranties on the paints used.
