Walk-In Showers: Features and Benefits

Quick answer

A walk-in shower is a low-threshold or curbless shower you can enter without stepping over a tub wall. EZ Able® walk-in showers come in curbless and low-threshold styles, standard and custom sizes, and quick-ship kits, with options like fold-down seats, handheld showers and slip-resistant floors.

What is a walk-in shower?

A walk-in shower has a low threshold or no curb at all, so you walk (or roll) straight in instead of stepping over a high tub wall. They are popular for their open layouts and frameless glass looks, and they are safer and easier to use than a tub-shower.
