Dimensions are measured in Width and Depth, and our shower dimensions list “outside dimensions” (or rough-in dimensions). When standing in front of the shower, Width is the dimension from Left to Right. The Depth is from the Front of the threshold to the Back stud.
A shower threshold is the front edge of the shower that you step over to enter a shower. In code accessible, barrier-free or zero-entry showers it may appear there is no threshold, but in fact, the front is slightly higher than the drain location to help keep water contained within the shower and to drain properly.
We offer three threshold types:
Traditional (bull-nose) |
Beveled |
Curbed |
