When it
comes to bathroom remodeling project, homeowners usually ask about making a doorless
walk-in shower. The good thing about these types of showers is that they occupy
less bathroom’s space since there are no door swings and frame to consider.
Moreover, they can be complementary to your preferences in terms of lifestyle
and décor.
Compared to
traditional stalls, there are many benefits in using a doorless walk-in shower.
The following are two major benefits:
Easy maintenance
Glass doors in
your shower add much work in cleaning particularly sliding doors. A doorless
shower requires less care and cleaning of surfaces.
Accessibility and safety
Threshold
can be inconvenient and can make family members to stumble. This affects
mobility especially for someone with difficulty using a confined shower. Sometimes
glass slider doors stick or run off their glides and this could be potential
obstacles. These concerns can be addressed by installing doorless walk-in
showers installed with low or level thresholds.

preferences of the homeowners, usually the design is about custom tile work and
partitions.
