20. Accessibility for Walk-in Showers

Accessibility for Walk-in Showers

If you are designing your bathroom from the ground up, consult with an architect about installing a walk-in shower with a curbless entry.

A shower with a curbless entry means the slab has to be dropped to accommodate the height of the shower pan. This is why it’s important to make your design ideas known as early in the planning stage as possible.

Setting the shower wall tile vertically makes the room seem taller. A bench and wide entry ensure this shower will meet accessibility needs in the future.
