Five ways to upgrade your tub/shower

Most homes have a tub/ shower in one bathroom; these work best for families with children, but if that’s not you, then you may be longing for that full size shower.

Removing a tub often means you can get a 5 foot shower in that space. A walk in shower with tile and glass walls gives a luxury vibe.

1. Some homeowners want a curbless shower, and if you think that might be needed for a family member who uses a wheelchair, that may be a necessity. But fully curbless showers require floors slanted to keep the water inside the shower and is an additional cost.
2. Low curb showers are a great option, with all the style and good looks the curbless showers have. Contrasting tile installed on the shower floor distinguishes from the rest of the floor.
3. Select wall tile that fits your color and texture preferences, and include one or more niches for items you use in the shower.
4. You can opt for a no-door shower, as long as there is enough room for the shower spray to be contained within the shower area.
5. Showers can be built with a combined half wall and glass. The visual appeal and light that glass walls provide make for an upscale feel to the space.
