There have been countless studies that show most household injuries occur in the bathroom, and quite a few of those happen in or around the shower or tub. It only worsens as you get older, so we do our best to minimize these dangers for our clients. While this style of shower doesn't necessarily fit every space, it does make it easier for those who need a bit more help. Accessibility is a big concern for people, particularly those who are setting up their homes for aging in place or those with physical infirmities. As a bonus, curbless and barrier-free showers are easy to set up for wheelchair access!
