Bathrooms are one of the biggest motivators for homeowners to plan a remodel. While there are many reasons, often it is because they want their bathroom to feel like an oasis. Curbless showers can definitely contribute to that luxurious feel, but here are 5 reasons why they’re a game-changer from a practical standpoint:
1. Space Maximizers:
Curbless showers make the most of your bathroom square footage, whether you’re working with a spacious retreat or a cozy nook. The seamless flooring visually expands the room, and there’s no bulky curb to steal precious space.
2. Practical for All Ages:
Think beyond the aesthetics! Curbless showers offer incredible versatility. They’re perfect for rinsing off messy kids after playtime, and the open design allows for showering multiple children at once. Plus, they promote “aging in place” – the shower is already mobility-aid friendly, eliminating the need for modifications later. No curb means a safer entry and exit for everyone.
3. Cleaning Made Easy:
Curbless showers simplify cleaning, regardless of your door choice. A handheld showerhead lets you easily spray down walls and reach every corner. Opt for an open design and eliminate doors altogether – no hinges or seals to wear out! Plus, cleaning the shower floor becomes part of your regular bathroom cleaning routine.
4. Design Versatility and Value Boost:
Curbless showers instantly elevate your bathroom with a sleek, modern aesthetic. Express your style by choosing unique tile colors, shapes, and textures. The design flexibility allows for customization with benches, shelves, and even heated floors to create a truly personalized spa experience. A well-designed curbless shower can add significant value to your home.
5. Safety First:
Stepping over a bathtub or shower curb can be a fall risk, especially for young children and older adults. Wet surfaces can be slippery, and a high curb can pose a challenge for those with mobility limitations. Curbless showers offer a safe and effortless entry and exit – simply walk in and walk out. For wheelchair users, there’s no barrier to navigate.
