While a custom shower costs more and is trickier to install than a prefabricated type, tailoring the layout is particularly useful in small bathrooms with limited space and offers complete design freedom. You can build a shower bench for a family member with limited mobility or a shower niche (built-in, ingressed shelves) to hold clutter and act as a focal point.

Walk-in showers aren’t necessarily better. It depends on your circumstances. On the one hand, they’re more accessible—especially for people who use a wheelchair. They also take up less space than bathtubs and are ideal for small bathrooms. On the other hand, some families may need a bathtub to bathe young children and pets.

Heavy glass tends to be more expensive than thin glass because it is stronger and more durable. In most cases, ¼-inch-thick glass is ideal for mirrors, and ⅛-inch-thick glass is ideal for residential windows. Heavier glass isn’t always necessary, and can be more challenging to hang or install. Work with a local window installation pro for replacement or new construction windows.

Roll-in showers are worth the investment, especially for homeowners who want accessibility and style from a bathroom upgrade. They feature barrier-free entries ideal for wheelchair users and people of all ages. They also maximize bathroom and shower space and provide a seamless flow between the shower and the rest of the bathroom, fitting modern, open-concept designs. You can customize them by adding benches, grab bars, and other accessibility or luxury options. 

Whether you’re preparing your home for aging in place, love the look of streamlined showers, or want to increase your home’s ROI, these showers are an excellent choice.
