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, well-suited to Florida humidity
- Tile, most design flexibility, longest install (1–3 weeks), more grout maintenance
- Low-threshold entry, easiest scope, most common in the region
- Curbless entry, best for true aging-in-place; needs more framing/drain work (and slab-cut in slab-on-grade homes)
- Frameless glass, cleanest look; needs regular squeegeeing in humid Central Florida climates

Frequently asked questions
Does humidity in Central Florida shorten the life of a new shower?+
It can, but mostly through poor ventilation, not the shower system itself. A properly sized vent fan that vents outside the home (not into the attic) is the single biggest factor. Acrylic and well-installed tile systems both hold up well in Orlando-area humidity when ventilation is right.
