Curbless showers, also called zero-threshold showers, are one of the most popular bathroom upgrades in modern renovations.

They create a seamless spa-like appearance while improving accessibility.

Waterproofing Systems

Proper waterproofing is critical.

Professional installations typically use advanced systems such as:
