Shower planning

Walk-In Showers

A walk-in shower can improve access and create a more open bathroom, but good results depend on water management and clearances as much as appearance.

Home / Walk-In Showers: Planning, Layout and Water Control

Entry design affects the whole room

Threshold height, opening width and door or glass placement influence both access and splash control. Coordinate the entry with nearby fixtures.

Waterproofing is a system

The shower base, walls, corners, niches and penetrations have to work together. Ask how the waterproofing system is installed and how transitions are detailed.

Controls should be easy to reach

Consider where the valve, handheld shower and storage will sit relative to the entry and spray. A beautiful shower that requires stepping into cold water to turn it on is not well planned.
