My question is regarding a curbless shower.

My builder tells me that there has to be at least a 1/4" drop at the transition between the bathroom floor and the shower pan. I know I have seen showers where there is a smooth transition. The shower is 4'6" deep and 7' wide, with a frameless shower door on the 7' dimension and a horizontal channel drain along the back 7' wall. Is the builder correct that there must be a small drop at the transition between the bathroom floor and the shower pan?

    Be 100% sure that your builder knows what he is talking about; he could be outside his comfort zone. DO NOT proceed with framing the area without a plan for what you want.

      well, there has to be a drop for the water to get to the drain, since most likely the tile sizes will be at least 12x 12, ( in a modern style ) they can slope the tile so that the water will get to the drain, furthermore, these type of drains are long and cant be bent. Make sure he waterproofs the floors very well.

      Miquela, please, see our drawings for clarification. THere is no drop but a slight angle on the last tile to create a "valley" for the drain strainer. I would be more than happy to explain.

      Miquela, there is not only one way to do it. There are more possible solutions to built a transition free curbless shower. It is all depending on your situation and your circumstances. However most important is to use the right materials.

      Our advice: Let do the job only by an experienced and skilled tile setter. Ask him whether he has done similar projects in the past. Ask for evidences. Let him explain what exactly he will do to and what materials he will use to accomplish his work.

      Do your homework and sped time to find a company you can trust to avoid headache and frustration.

      If you have any further questions or need any advices, please don't hesitate to contact us. It will be a pleasure for us to help you.
