        "text": "A curbless shower eliminates the traditional step-over barrier entirely, while a low-barrier shower retains a small threshold, typically one to two inches high. Curbless showers allow seamless roll-in access for wheelchairs and walkers, but they often require lowering the floor joists or adjusting the subfloor slope to ensure proper water drainage. Low-barrier showers are simpler to build within existing floor frames and prevent minor water splash, but they still present a slight tripping hazard for individuals with severely limited step height.",
