        "text": "A walk-in shower features a low threshold step—typically two to four inches high—that helps contain water but still requires stepping over an edge. A roll-in or zero-threshold curbless shower has a completely flat entry level with the bathroom floor, allowing roll-in shower chairs or walkers without obstruction. The practical tradeoff comes down to floor framing and subfloor work. A curbless shower often requires recessing the floor joists or sloping the subfloor to ensure proper drainage without water escaping into the room, making it slightly more labor-intensive than a low-curb conversion. Abraham Becerra assesses the subfloor framing directly to determine the cleanest installation method.",
