Quick answer
A curbless shower has no curb at all for the most seamless look and easiest entry, but it can require extra floor and drainage work that isn't feasible in every home. A low-threshold shower has a small, easy-to-step-over curb and works in more bathrooms at a lower cost. Both are far easier to enter than a tub; we'll tell you which is realistic for your floor structure.
When curbless makes sense
Curbless is ideal for wheelchair or walker access and for a high-end, open aesthetic — when the floor structure and drainage can accommodate it.
When low-threshold is the better call
If a curbless conversion would require major structural work, a low-threshold base delivers most of the benefit with less cost and complexity.
