Slope has to fight the local weather, not just the drain
In a region that sees heavy tropical rainfall and high humidity for stretches of the year, a curbless shower's slope and ventilation both carry more weight than they would somewhere drier. Get the framing and drain positioning wrong and the room stays damp long after the water's off.
Build a complete scope
- Fall to drain achieved within the floor depth available
- How glass panels are supported and into what
- Unbroken waterproofing from pan to wall, checked before finishes
- A fan sized for the shower and ducted through the roof
- Permits, inspections, cleanup, and the warranty on the installation
Fayetteville context
Fayetteville has historic neighborhoods, military-era housing, postwar ranches, newer subdivisions, and rural-edge properties. Sandy soil and a high water table in some areas can affect how a crawlspace-set home handles a curbless shower's plumbing.
