Walk-in shower options at a glance
Three big choices drive the scope and price: shower system (acrylic vs. tile), entry (low-threshold vs. curbless), and enclosure (frameless glass, semi-frameless, sliding, or curtain).
- Semi-custom acrylic, fastest install (1–3 days), easiest maintenance
- Tile, most design flexibility, longest install (1–3 weeks)
- Low-threshold entry, easiest scope, most common in the region
- Curbless entry, best for true aging-in-place, requires more framing/drain work
- Frameless glass, cleanest look, higher cost
