        "text": "A standard walk-in shower requires an interior footprint of at least 30 inches by 30 inches, though 36 inches by 36 inches is the recommended minimum for everyday comfort. If you plan to convert a standard alcove tub, you will have roughly 60 inches by 30 to 32 inches of floor space, which works well for a spacious walk-in design. If you want luxury additions like a built-in bench, dual showerheads, or a curbless entry, you typically need at least 42 to 48 inches of width to ensure adequate clearance and water containment.",

        "description": "Building codes usually require at least 30x30 inches, but 36x36 inches is ideal for comfort. Tub conversion spaces (around 60x30 inches) provide generous room."
