A curbless shower is one of the most famous features of a contemporary bathroom design — and for good reason.

If you’re on the fence about getting a curbless shower installed in your bathroom, this article should hopefully help you make up your mind. Bear in mind, of course, that there are plenty of other reasons for installing a new shower. But if you’re simply looking for an upgrade to the aesthetics, there are few options that match the curbless option—and even fewer can provide the cost benefits that come along with it.

Here are eight reasons why you should consider a curbless shower for your bathroom.

1. More Accessibility

A curbless shower provides a safer bathing experience for people with wheelchairs and walkers as it allows them to enter and exit more easily. Well-designed curbless showers do not present an increased risk of falls, and they offer people with mobility issues greater independence during their day-to-day lives. They are easier to use, safer for the user, and an overall improvement that people will notice—especially those who are disabled.

2. Easier to Clean

There are a number of different reasons this is a better design than a traditional curb, but mostly it’s because it makes cleaning easier. The absence of a curb allows you to clean more easily around the edges and underneath the faucet with less bending and reaching required. Fewer cracks and crevices create fewer places for mold to grow, which means your bathroom will stay cleaner for longer.

3. More Space

Showering in small spaces can be more of a chore than enjoyable, and the space limitations only get worse when you factor in other bathroom fixtures and furniture. One of the best options for reducing this challenge is a curbless shower that’s designed to fit into smaller bathrooms more efficiently. The curbless design doesn't feel cramped, and the extra space that it provides is a big win for homeowners with limited floor space.

4. Less Visual Clutter

A curbless shower simply creates a visually appealing, seamless shower space that feels comfortable and natural. Many designers today are using minimalism to create the kind of bathrooms with clean and soothing designs that have very little clutter. Curbless shower enclosures are no different. They create a spa-like environment right in the comfort of your own home, making your bathroom look light and airy.

5. Showcase Your Bathroom Design Better

A curbless shower is one of the most elegant designs for your new bath or shower remodel. If you want to show off your beautiful tile design, opt for our curbless shower design. The lines are continuous, which creates an uninterrupted visual element without interruption or interference from a curb. This could either better display your intricate tile designs, or serve as a great backdrop for any other design element or fixture that you would like to highlight in your bathroom.
