Zero-Threshold Shower Installation Services in Orlando, Florida
A zero-threshold shower eliminates the traditional raised curb, creating a seamless transition from bathroom floor to shower pan that reduces tripping hazards and improves accessibility. For Orlando residents in neighborhoods like Doctor Phillips, Hunters Creek, and Lake Nona, this design transforms aging bathrooms into modern, slip-resistant spaces that accommodate aging-in-place needs and mobility concerns. Our installations use industry-standard slope calculations (1/4 inch per linear foot) to ensure proper water drainage while maintaining a level walking surface.
Our zero-threshold shower installation process begins with a detailed site assessment of your current bathroom layout, followed by structural evaluation and waterproofing specifications. We remove existing shower fixtures, prepare the subfloor with proper sloping using self-leveling concrete, install a custom-fit acrylic or composite pan with integrated drainage, and finish with glass enclosure framing and caulking. The entire process-from demolition through final inspection-takes 2-3 business days for standard residential bathrooms in Orlando and surrounding areas like Winter Park, Maitland, and Longwood.
