Sloped curbs in Master Shower
Amy Smucker Photography -
This shower has 4 body sprayers, a rain head and hand held shower wand. The glass door swings both ways because many people pull a door open to enter. When finished with their shower they can open the door inward and pull the towel off the exterior towel bar/door handle. Drying off in the shower reduces the amount of water that drips onto the bathroom floor.
Most shower glass installers rest the glass on the (usually flat) curb and apply a bead of silicone to keep the water from going out to the bathroom floor.
As with other projects, we sloped the curbs in the 3 shower stalls in this house inward and the glass walls are raised about 1/4 inch above the tile curb so air can flow easily which helps dissipate moisture after a shower.
The water doesn't splash out because the curb is sloped up on the outside of the glass. And more importantly since there is no silicone where the water can sit and grow mold this configuration makes cleaning the shower easy.
