Steven Hockstein Posted January 11, 2014 Report Share Posted January 11, 2014 Just an observation... I am seeing lately that some local real estate listings and TV shows brag about the "Walk-in Shower" feature. One day if I hear a sales agent speak about the "Walk-in shower" I want to ask if there is any other type of shower that they have ever sold in the past.

AHI in AR Posted January 11, 2014 Report Share Posted January 11, 2014 While it might seem to be splitting hairs, this is done to differentiate that shower from a shower/tub combination where, technically, you step in to the shower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Meiland Posted January 11, 2014 Report Share Posted January 11, 2014 They may mean a curbless shower. Those are common in high end homes and are also seriously convenient for anyone who needs to roll in in their wheelchair. They may also mean a shower that's large enough and/or configured so that it doesn't need a glass door. I built one like that in our last house. Wayyy better than having a door IMO.

There is the roll-in shower used in an accessible bathroom. Good point. AHI may be on track that they could be using the term to differentiate the separate shower from the combination tub with showers that you "Step-in".

John Kogel Posted January 11, 2014 Report Share Posted January 11, 2014 Don't ya just love inspecting those showers where you have to get soaked by spray heads shooting from all directions? Turning them on is ok but going back in to turn them off, I want to ask for volunteers. [] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Kibbel Posted January 12, 2014 Report Share Posted January 12, 2014 Walk-in shower, roll-in shower. I just "jump in the shower". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
