Accessible baths
Accessible and aging in place bathrooms
A bathroom that keeps working for you as the years go by.
A curbless shower has the floor dropped and sloped to the drain, so there is nothing to step over.
Each bar screws into solid blocking behind the tile, and that blocking is simple to add with the walls open.

A comfort height toilet sits about 17 inches up, easier to sit and stand.
- 02Handheld shower
Mounted on a slide bar so it works seated or standing.

Accessible baths questions
Can my shower be made curbless?
Usually, by dropping the floor. A house on a slab needs the concrete cut and recessed.
Where do grab bars belong?
In the shower and beside the toilet, fastened into blocking behind the tile.
Should I do this before I need it?
Blocking and a curbless floor cost little during a remodel and a lot more later.
