A walk-in shower is the most-asked-for upgrade in our showroom. Done right, there is no curb to trip on, no water on the floor, and no grout lines that turn black in a year.

We build walk-in showers with a full waterproofing membrane, a linear or center drain sloped the right way, and glass sized so water stays where it belongs. Where we can, we recess the floor so there is no curb at all.

Add a bench, a niche placed where you can actually reach it, a handheld on a slide bar, and blocking for grab bars you might want later. Your designer will show you each option in the showroom mockup.

What's included

  • Full waterproofing membrane and flood test before tile
  • Linear or center drain with a proper slope
  • Niches, bench, and glass sized to your room
  • Hidden blocking for grab bars
  • Exhaust fan sized to the room and vented outside

Curbless showers depend on what is under the floor. We check the framing at the in-home visit before we promise zero threshold.

Good questions

Will a curbless shower leak onto the floor?

Not if the floor slopes properly and the glass is sized right. We flood test every shower pan for 24 hours before tile goes on.

Do I need a door on the glass?

Not always. A fixed panel works in many rooms and is easier to clean. We'll show you the splash zone on your plan.

Let's look at your bathroom.
