Incorporating A Curbless Shower In Modern Bathrooms
Modern bathrooms are all about clean, sleek lines. One way to incorporate the look is to install a curbless shower, because they can be designed to make the floor look continuous throughout the bathroom.
“This type of shower falls perfectly into the “modern” category,” says Normandy Designer Kathryn O’Donovan. “One of the newer appeals to this shower is incorporating linear drains, which effectively drains the water and reinforces the clean lines you’ll find in the rest of the space.” Another advantage of a curbless shower, there’s zero tripping hazard; this benefit makes the shower fit for a universal design aspect as well.
Things to consider for a curbless shower are that ideally the entire bathroom has to be pitched, or just the shower if it’s big enough, to adequately drain the water. It’s also important to still incorporate a screen or curtain to prevent water from getting all over the rest of the bathroom. If you’re foregoing the screen or curtain, make sure the surrounding materials are all waterproof or you’re going to run into trouble quickly.
If you are contemplating changes to your bathroom or thinking about creating a master bathroom retreat, you can set up a time with Kathryn to talk about the possibilities. You can also learn more about bathrooms and other remodeling projects at an upcoming workshop.
