Shower Curb
Width 48″Depth 4″Height 4.5″Shape rectangle
Overview
A shower curb is the low raised threshold across a shower's entry that keeps water from running onto the bathroom floor. It is a standard part of tiled showers, and shower glass often stands on top of it.
Sizing & placement
It is 48 inches long, 4 inches wide, and 4.5 inches tall. Its length suits a 48-inch shower opening, and its low height is easy to step over; for a step-free entry, a curbless design with a linear drain is the usual alternative.
Where it works
Bathrooms with tiled or walk-in showers; suits traditional, transitional, and modern builds.
