Curbless Showers

Curbless showers with a floor that flows from the bathroom into the shower with no step, built with a sloped, recessed floor, a linear or point drain and full waterproofing.

A curbless shower has no step at all, which makes it beautiful, easy to enter and friendly to wheelchairs and walkers. It also asks for careful building: the floor framing must be dropped or the floor built up, the slope must be right and every layer must be sealed. Homeowners in Nashville choose curbless showers for both style and accessibility.

We plan the entry from the floor framing up. Sometimes we recess the shower area between joists, and sometimes we raise the bathroom floor. A linear drain or a point drain sits at the low point, and the slope is carefully set. A continuous waterproof membrane is installed, tested and covered with tile. We then add glass or a fixed panel and fixtures. It is more work than a curb, and we explain that clearly before you decide. A curbless shower is a floor design problem more than a tile problem. The framing, the slope and the drain must work together from the first day, so we plan them on paper and on the job site. We also think about where water can travel in the room, and shape the glass and drain to keep it contained.

Plan the drop

Framing is lowered or the floor is built up so the shower floor can slope without a step.

Drain and slope

A linear or point drain sits at the low point with a carefully measured slope in every direction.

Seal every layer

A continuous membrane and a flood test help ensure the area is watertight before tile.

Finish with care

Large tile or mosaics, a fixed glass panel and good lighting complete a seamless look.

Questions

Curbless Showers FAQ

Is a curbless shower harder to build?

Yes, because of the floor framing and waterproofing. We plan it early and price it clearly.

Where does the water go?

To a drain at the low point of a sloped floor. We plan the slope and the drain location together.

Will water run out of the shower?

Proper slope, a good drain and a thoughtful glass panel keep it in. We explain the details.

Can it work on a concrete floor?

Sometimes, with the slab cut or the floor raised. We check first.

Is it good for wheelchairs?

It can be, with the right size and entry. We plan from the user's needs.
