Nobilia niche cladding

Give your kitchen a clean, well-thought-out finish. Nobilia niche back panels reliably protect the wall behind the hob and worktop from moisture and splashes – while perfectly balancing design and function. Choose from decors in wood, stone, glass, quartz, or ceramic – precisely matched to your worktop and front colours.

Nobilia niche back panels are based on a robust MDF board refined with durable laminate. This creates a kitchen back panel splashback that either matches the worktop tone on tone or deliberately sets a modern contrast to the fronts. With a thickness of 16 mm and a maximum length of 258 cm per piece, the niche cladding in the kitchen can be planned continuously – ideal for a calm, high-quality overall appearance.

In the standard version, the NV54, NV70, and NV203 models are among the most popular Nobilia niche claddings. At 53.7 cm high, the niche back panel is ideal as a classic splashback in the kitchen. A height of 70 cm is the standard behind extractor hoods and can be flexibly planned to size in widths from 25 to 258 cm. The tall version, up to 203 cm high, covers entire niches or walls and creates a calm overall look – with wood and stone reproductions always featuring a horizontal grain direction. Visually, you can choose between matte décors in all carcass colours, numerous worktop and front shades, Xtra décors such as basalt, artisan oak, or grey slate, elegant high-gloss surfaces from high-gloss white to high-gloss black, as well as variants in stainless steel look, bronze metallic, or yellow-gold colour. Practical niche shelves can also be integrated – for additional storage space and a perfectly thought-out kitchen back panel.

For individual kitchen back panel ideas, Nobilia offers the niche cladding with motif (NVM) in high-quality digital print. The 16 mm thick panels are coated on both sides, edged all around, and can be ordered made-to-measure in widths from 25 to 280 cm – when adjusting, the motif is trimmed from the right. The Nobilia niche back panel with motif is available in many designs, e.g. Metro White/Black, Loft, Light Stone Wall, Light Brick, Ceramic Tiles, Indigo Blue, Floral blue/grey, Chess, Beach, Iconic Flowers, Urban Jungle, Golden Art, or Rhombus grey/gold, as well as mirror, bronze, and wood looks such as Oak Line light/natural. A highlight is décor 435 Flower, where the base colour can be matched to Nobilia carcass colours such as Alpine White, White, Magnolia, Silk Grey, or Stone Grey. The NVM54 version is designed for niches below wall cabinets. Meanwhile, the NVM70 is suitable as an easy-care splashback for extractor hoods.

For anyone who wants to give their niche cladding in the kitchen or living area a particularly dimensional design, there is the niche back panel with 3D structure in a modern wood panel look. The panels, coated on both sides, feature a tactile vertical structure on the front, are edged all around, and visually resemble elegant acoustic panels. With widths from 25 to 204 cm and a maximum height of 277 cm, this Nobilia niche cladding is suitable not only as a kitchen back panel but also perfectly for hallways or living room walls. Available 3D digital print décors include Kaleidoskop Black, Faro Mosaic Tile, Herringbone Oak Como, Oak Sierra Wall Panel, Olive Wood Structure, or Natural Terrazzo, as well as Stripewood variants in Dark, Light, Slate Grey, or Taupe. The NVMDS54 and NVMDS70 heights are ideal for niches below wall cabinets and extractor hoods respectively, while NVMDS277 can be used as a full-surface wall panel in living or entrance areas.

For a particularly elegant glass kitchen back panel, Nobilia offers the NVG niche cladding: 16 mm thick, consisting of a 12 mm carrier panel with all-round PP edge and a 4 mm lacquered toughened safety glass layer. This Nobilia glass niche back panel is available either in high gloss or mirrored and is ideal as an easy-care, hygienic splashback in the kitchen. A wide range of glass colours is available, such as Silver, White, Black, Silk Grey, Alpine White, Stone Grey, Slate Grey, Magnolia, or Sand High Gloss, as well as variants in glass look. Special highlights include Masterflow Black (057) and Relief Glass Black (092), which add modern accents behind the hob and worktop with their striking appearance.

For particularly high-end kitchen planning, Nobilia offers niche back panels made of quartz stone, matching the quartz worktops of the same name. The quartz niche cladding, only 12 mm thick, has a modern, minimalist look while being extremely robust and easy to care for – ideal as a kitchen splashback. Standard heights of 56.3 cm and 70 cm as well as widths from 25 to 300 cm allow for continuous planning. A modern finish with a height of only 30 cm is also possible. With the NVQ quartz wall sealing profile (5 cm high, 10–150 cm long, optionally at half height 30 cm) or the WAC wall sealing profile, the Nobilia quartz niche back panel can be finished neatly and in a visually harmonious way with the worktop. Elegant niche colours are available such as Epic Raw, Epic Black, Epic White, Epic Easy Clay, and Epic Ash Grain.

For particularly modern kitchen planning, Nobilia offers Xtra Ceramic niche back panels (NVC) with heights from 30.1 to 55.9 cm and a maximum width of 310 cm. They can be planned either as continuous niche cladding or as a high-quality tiled splashback – visually matching the worktop or deliberately contrasting it. Available niche colours include Venato Bianco, Venato Nero, Fossil Grey, Metal Oxis, Stone Oak, Plain Black, Belgian Blue Stone, as well as concrete reproductions in Silk Grey, White, or Sand. This gives your kitchen back panel an individual yet very easy-care splashback.

Installing a Nobilia niche back panel is simple, but should be carried out carefully to achieve a permanently clean result. The panels are best glued directly onto the plaster with assembly adhesive. Wallpaper should be removed beforehand to ensure optimal adhesion. Make sure to create a clean silicone joint in the worktop colour so that no moisture can get behind the niche cladding. For a technically clean finish, Nobilia recommends using a wall sealing profile (WAPN) or niche profile (NKPU).

Important: Gas hobs require at least 10 cm clearance from the niche back panel – when planning with a gas hob, an extra-deep worktop from 70 cm should be used.

For toughened safety glass niches, cut-outs are always made at the factory, as on-site cutting is not possible. Niche claddings with a wood carrier board, on the other hand, can be cut precisely on site during installation.

For a functional and harmonious niche cladding in the kitchen, the right niche lighting plays a major role.

With the LINERO-MosaiQ system, Nobilia offers an aluminium profile with an integrated LED light strip that also serves as a niche finishing and connecting profile. The scope of delivery includes end caps for left and right as well as screws and wall plugs. LINERO-MosaiQ is approved for numerous Nobilia niche back panels – including NV*, NVH*, NVM*, NVMDS*, and NVG120 – and can ideally be combined with profiles such as WAPN, NPUK, NKPU, NKPA, or NKP. This creates modern, even illumination of the work surface while also providing a clean technical finish.

The Derby II LED niche light is available as an additional option. The aluminium profile in stainless steel look or black is equipped with an LED light strip (12 V DC, 2700–6500 K) and has a 200 cm connection cable to the starter set. Thanks to protection class IP44, Derby II is ideal for use in the kitchen. It is mounted under worktops – e.g. in combination with glass side panels or the Smartcube base cabinet shelf – or under mirrored cabinets, and effectively highlights the kitchen back panel as well as the work area.

For a clean, durable installation of Nobilia niche cladding, planning in combination with matching profiles is always recommended. The NPUK, NKPU, and WAPN systems in particular have proven themselves, as they protect the edges of the kitchen back panel, compensate for movement, and reliably keep out moisture.

The NPUK plastic cover profile in a translucent look is suitable for niche or back panel claddings with a thickness of 16 mm. It is self-adhesive, 500 cm long, and projects only 1.6 cm – ideal for an unobtrusive, clean finish at the top or sides.

The NKPU lower niche profile is a two-part aluminium profile with sealing profile and can be used as a lower finish or as a wall sealing trim. With a height of 1.7 cm and a depth of 2 cm, it provides a stable, sealed connection between the worktop and splashback in the kitchen. Available in stainless steel look (014) or black (010), and with an installation height of 4 mm, it blends discreetly into modern planning.

For continuous solutions, the WAPN wall sealing profile is used. The two-part plastic profile with sealing lip and upright sealing profile is 2.5 cm high and 2.5 cm deep, is supplied in bar length (special length 500 cm), and projects 4 mm onto the worktop in the lower profile. Here too, the colours stainless steel look (014) and black (010) are available – perfect for a continuous, visually calm line along the entire niche back panel.

Niche shelves make use of areas that would otherwise remain unused and create practical storage space exactly where it is needed. Whether as an open shelf, a corner solution, or with a flap: small kitchen appliances, chopping boards, or knives are stored neatly and within easy reach behind the front. With an installation depth of only 125 mm, the shelves fit into almost any niche and are available in many carcass colours – ideal for a harmonious overall look and maximum space optimisation.
