        "text": "A zero-threshold shower removes the raised curb entirely, allowing seamless entry flush with the bathroom floor, whereas a low-curb shower retains a shallow lip of several inches to retain water. The practical tradeoff comes down to accessibility needs versus waterproofing complexity. Zero-threshold designs provide easier access for rolling walkers and wheelchairs, but they require recessed floor framing and specialized slope drainage. Low-curb showers work well for individuals who can take small steps and often require less structural subfloor modification during installation.",
