A curbless entry shifts the work to the floor
Drop the curb and the floor itself has to carry water to the drain without a low point anywhere else in the pan. In a slab-on-grade Cary home, that can mean cutting into concrete rather than just reworking joists.
Build a complete scope
- Slope to drain achieved without a lip that traps water
- Glass specification and how the panels are supported
- Waterproofing continuity from pan to wall, checked before finishes
- Ventilation sized for a larger open shower volume
- Permits, inspections, cleanup, and precisely what is guaranteed
Cary context
Cary is dominated by planned neighborhoods, late-twentieth-century homes, premium renovations, and continuing infill on Piedmont clay. Whether a home sits on a slab or a crawlspace changes how a curbless shower gets built, and it's worth confirming before finishes are chosen.
