Walk In Shower

9 years ago

Need advice on walk-in-showers where no shower curtain nor door is needed. What is the best wall and floor material to use such as tile, grout, etc? Also, also would like to design as handicap accessible.

Seek out a bath designer. Have an extra bedroom available to cannibalize for the additional room needed for an accessible bath. And have a VERY healthy budget for the conversion. An average master bath remodel is 30-70K. And you need a lot more plumbing than a replacement project will need.

We used a bathroom designer to renovate a bathroom for my disabled sister in early 2016. This firm did a great job in helping create an attractive and safe bathroom. We did a large walk- in shower with no curb and no door. We ran under floor heating in the bathroom and into shower, which keeps the room warm. Marazzie glazed porcelain tile was used on floor and walls (13x13) and the same tile in 2x2 size for the shower flower. Here are photos.
