Curbless Showers
Curbless or zero-entry showers offer a modern and accessible design but require a specific type of installation. By understanding the benefits and requirements of curbless showers, including linear and vanishing drains, and the importance of a wet room installation, you can create a beautiful and functional bathroom.
Benefits of Curbless Showers
Accessibility: Curbless showers are ideal for people with mobility issues, as they eliminate the need to step over a curb.
Aesthetics: Curbless showers create a seamless look, making the bathroom appear larger and more modern.
Easy Cleaning: Without a curb, curbless showers are easier to clean and maintain.
Drain Options
Linear Drains: Long, narrow drains that run along the length of the shower.
Vanishing Drains: Drains that are designed to be nearly invisible, creating a seamless look.
Wet Room Installation
Waterproofing: The entire room must be waterproofed, not just the shower pan, to prevent water damage.
Sloping: The floor must be sloped to ensure water flows towards the drain.
Membrane: A waterproof membrane must be applied to the entire floor and walls to prevent water penetration.
