        "text": "Walk-in showers can be designed with a low-profile threshold or as a completely curbless, barrier-free entry. A low-profile curb features a small lip of three to four inches that helps keep water contained while offering easier step-in access than a deep tub. A barrier-free or curbless shower eliminates the threshold entirely so the bathroom floor flows seamlessly into the shower pan. Choosing a curbless design often requires modifying or recessing the floor framing to ensure proper slope toward the drain, making it slightly more labor-intensive but ideal for aging in place or wheelchair accessibility.",
