Saves time through efficiency – very fast set up (under a minute)
The PLANUM - Tile Niche Supporter increases work flow. The tool is made for professional and novice tile installers who will save time by eliminating the search for improvised materials. Our support is 100% relatable. Pre-plan your tiling layout, install, let dry, and remove. Adjustable plate makes working with any dimensions easy and painless.
Travels well – very light, fits well in a tool box
Our very reliable support only weighs 2 lbs and fits perfectly in any tool box or bag! The detachable extended leg lays flat against the main plate when not in use.
Pairs of Tile Niche Supporters work well together
In some situations with longer niches or longer suspended walls one tile supporter is not enough to hold all the tiles above the niche, window or suspended wall. You can use as many supporters as necessary to get the job done.
How It Works
The Tile Niche Supporter is ready for your tiling and supporting needs featuring options to attach to different surfaces with screws, or with the enclosed extended leg. The tool is ready to use immediately, set-up takes less than one minute, and it is so relatable that you can leave tiles alone to dry. It saves tilers time and eliminates the frustration of looking for improvising materials to support tiles. Our team has a 100% success rate of completing the niche on the same day.
The tool can be used for bathroom or window niches. For larger projects, we recommend using multiple Tile Niche Supporters for durable strength and support.
The following are examples of ways tilers have used our product.
For niches like this, a tiler used 3 Tile Niche Supporters(with screws) to hold everything together, evenly placed to distribute the weight.
In this case, a tiler used 2 Tile Niche Supporters screwed into the door frame for extra weight support.
Only one Niche supporter, used with the extended leg.

About
We are Planum, an authentic family-owned business specializing in tilling. With 20+ years of tling experience we know how it feels to use makeshift boxes, wood, or anything you can grab to create a support for tile installation over vertical surfaces. Today, we are proud to bring you the first patent tile support for all your tiling needs.
A few years ago, our founder was hired for a tile installation in downtown Chicago. Among others, he was tasked to install tiles over a big niche. He started tiling and at the end he needed to improvise materials to create a support for the tiles installed on top of the niche. With no luck in finding the right materials, he had to leave the building, remove his car from a complicated garage, and go out of his way to the nearby hardware store to find anything that can support the tiles. He had to buy materials to create a makeshift support. Several hours later, he finished the job, but felt frustrated with wasting productivity hours and time. That same day, he drew up the first prototype of the Title Niche Supporter. Several years later, we are here to present the tool that saves time and eliminates frustration - the Tile Niche Supporter.
Planum users can rest assured; we spent years rendering the absolute best tile niche supporter to ensure every tile stays in place!
