Your Selected Shower(s)
What Is a Barrier Free Shower?
A barrier-free shower is designed with a low or reduced entry threshold to make entering and exiting the shower easier than with a traditional high-curb shower or bathtub. These showers are commonly considered for bathroom remodeling, aging-in-place projects and spaces where easier access is a priority.
Single-Piece vs. Multi-Piece Barrier Free Showers
The best construction type often depends on whether the shower is being installed during new construction or inside an existing bathroom.
Single-Piece Barrier Free Showers
A single-piece shower is manufactured as one complete unit. Because the full shower must be moved into position, these models are generally best suited to projects where there is sufficient access before walls, doorways and other building components restrict installation.
- One-piece construction
- Fewer joints between shower sections
- Well suited to many new construction projects
- Requires adequate delivery and installation access
Multi-Piece Barrier Free Showers
Multi-piece showers are manufactured in separate sections that can be moved through existing doors, hallways and other restricted spaces before being assembled inside the bathroom.
- Designed in multiple sections
- Easier to move through existing structures
- Practical for many bathroom remodeling projects
- Useful where a complete one-piece unit cannot fit
Choosing the Right Barrier Free Shower
Start with the bathroom dimensions and installation conditions, then compare the shower configuration and features that best fit your project.
Measure the available width, depth and height before selecting a shower.
Determine whether single-piece or multi-piece construction is appropriate for the installation.
Compare available threshold configurations based on project requirements and intended use.
Existing plumbing and project layout can influence the most practical drain position.
Available finishes vary by model and may include smooth or tile-pattern wall designs.
Review compatible seating, grab bars and shower fixtures when planning the complete bathroom.
Barrier Free Showers for Aging-in-Place Projects
Barrier-free shower systems are frequently considered when homeowners are remodeling a bathroom for easier long-term use. A reduced entry can eliminate the need to step over a traditional bathtub wall or high shower curb.
When planning for an older adult, caregiver or person with changing mobility needs, the complete bathroom layout should be considered — not only the shower itself.
- Available bathroom space and clear access
- Shower entry and threshold configuration
- Grab-bar placement and wall reinforcement
- Seating requirements
- Handheld shower fixture location
- Floor and water-management considerations
Barrier Free Shower Applications
Residential Projects
Barrier-free showers can be considered for homeowners replacing a bathtub, remodeling an existing bathroom, preparing a home for aging in place or creating a bathroom with easier shower access.
Commercial & Multi-Unit Projects
Barrier-free shower configurations may also be used in multi-family, senior living, hospitality and other project environments. When a project requires specific accessibility-code compliance, the required standards should be confirmed before selecting the shower model.
Is a Barrier Free Shower the Same as an ADA Shower?
Not necessarily. “Barrier free” generally describes an easier-entry or reduced-threshold shower configuration. A project that requires ADA or other accessibility-code compliance must use a shower configuration and accessories appropriate for the applicable project requirements. LG Showers offers a separate selection of ADA shower models for code-driven projects.
Barrier Free Shower FAQs
What is a barrier-free shower?
A barrier-free shower uses a low or reduced entry threshold compared with a traditional shower curb or bathtub wall. The exact threshold design varies by model.
Are barrier-free showers good for remodeling?
Yes. Multi-piece barrier-free shower systems are particularly useful for many remodeling projects because the separate sections can be moved through existing doorways and assembled inside the bathroom.
What is the difference between single-piece and multi-piece showers?
A single-piece shower is manufactured as one complete unit, while a multi-piece shower is manufactured in sections. Single-piece units are commonly considered for new construction, while multi-piece units can provide easier access for remodeling installations.
Can barrier-free showers be used for aging in place?
Barrier-free showers are commonly considered in aging-in-place bathroom projects because the reduced entry can make shower access easier than stepping over a bathtub wall or traditional high curb.
Can I add grab bars or a shower seat?
Accessory compatibility depends on the shower model and project configuration. Review the specifications for the selected shower and confirm appropriate wall reinforcement, seating and grab-bar requirements before installation.
Are barrier-free showers ADA compliant?
Barrier-free and ADA-compliant are not interchangeable terms. If ADA or another accessibility standard applies to your project, select a shower and accessory configuration designed for the applicable requirements.
How do I choose the correct barrier-free shower size?
Start with the available bathroom dimensions and installation access. Then compare shower width, depth, construction type, threshold, drain location and other available features using the Barrier Free Shower Finder above.
