  5. Now, as the water is going to remain in that glass cabin and not going outside, you need to install the right drainage that can clear out the water. The drainage system should be much effective to remove the water instantly and there should be no water log in your shower stall. For this, you will have to create a slight slope in your bathroom so that the water goes down quickly to the drainage. There are two options for the drainage. Either you can go for the floor drain or the wall drain. Wall drain can be concealed behind a tile and no one will notice it and it will match with the overall style of the shower stall. The floor drain will be visible and it will cover some of your shower areas making you uncomfortable to stand and use the space. But that won’t be covering much big space so you can’t omit the floor option right away. There are two options available in the floor drain. One is the point drain and the other is the linear drain. The point drain is the square-shaped drain that covers a small size while the linear drain is the rectangular drain covering a long portion of your shower area. Point drains are the traditional drainage that people are installing for years. There are various designs available in the same. If you want to go for a modern option then the linear drainage fits well for you. It is slim and accumulates more water as it covers a long length. Whichever option you go for, the conclusion is to get the water removed quickly and effectively from your shower area so that you don’t have to manually remove it, again and again, every time you use the shower.

The cabin area will be colder than the traditional showers as it is an enclosed space. People who can’t sustain a cold can have an issue with this.

So, if you are designing your bathroom from scratch then you should think of building a barrier-free shower at that time only as the planning can be accordingly done and it can be built easily. A complete makeover will be way costly so avoid it. So, here was an overview of the curbless shower. Hope you got a complete overview of it.
