With the required 1/4" slopped floor towards the Linear Drain, the Trugard Membrane and the TruSeal Sealant, all these parts create the ultimate water tight shower system.

The Barrier (Curbless) Free Trend

Some of the primary reasons that linear drains are a hot trend in these spa-like retreats, is because of the open spa-like bathroom design. The craze for the single-sloped floor toward the linear drains eliminating the need for shower curbs, shower curtains and shower doors results in a barrier-free, more relaxing spa-like atmosphere.

Barrier-free generally means the shower entry has no shower curb, curtains, or glass door. With the popularity of steam showers and steam rooms however, the presence of a glass door to trap the steam is necessary. So, showers with no curb, still qualifies as barrier-free.

Barrier-free showers have absolutely become a must-have for today's elderly and aging baby boomer generation. The elderly have always craved for security, freedom of accessibility and mobility, especially when wheelchair accessibility is required.
