We're doing a curbless shower with slope going towards the door and a linear drain running along the the door side. Any tips to prevent water from leaking out the door?
Hi, Good question. Of course it depends on the size of the shower, the amount of splashing, and your tolerance for some water on the rest of the floor. One detail we sometimes employ is having a very slight lip (say 1/2" or less) at the door. This helps keep surface water from sloshing out of the shower. Your linear drain is a good idea too. DA
water will always splash out, but many factors on the shower will change how much water splashes how far. IF the idea is troublesome, stay away and install that curb.
size of the shower and direction of the shower head are two primary factors in splashing. Linear drains will keep water from running out, but then a good, single, circular drain is also just fine. Just point the shower head away from the opening and don't try a shower that is less than 36" deep.
