Installing a barrier-free shower in a Texas home is a decision that comes with several considerations and offers many benefits. Here's what homeowners need to know:
Benefits:
Accessibility: Barrier-free showers are designed to provide easy access for individuals with mobility challenges, including those using wheelchairs or walkers.
Safety: With no curbs or steps to trip over, these showers reduce the risk of falls.
Aesthetic Appeal: The seamless design gives a modern and elegant look to the bathroom.
Resale Value: The increased functionality and attractive design can add value to the home.
Design Considerations:
Space: A barrier-free shower requires enough space for easy maneuvering, especially if designed for wheelchair accessibility.
Drainage: Proper slope and drainage are essential to prevent water from escaping the shower area.
Door Type: Choosing between a curtain or a glass enclosure depends on aesthetic preferences and accessibility requirements.
Materials: Slip-resistant tiles and non-porous materials are ideal to enhance safety and ease of cleaning.
Compliance: Ensuring compliance with local building codes and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards, if applicable, is crucial.
Layout Options:
Open Concept: Completely open designs allow for the most accessibility but may require special attention to water containment.
Partial Enclosure: A half-wall or partial glass enclosure can contain water while maintaining an open feel.
Full Enclosure: Fully enclosed designs offer more privacy and control over water splash but may limit accessibility if not properly designed.
Material Options:
Tiles: Ceramic or porcelain tiles are common, but natural stone or textured tiles may be used for added elegance.
Grout: Epoxy grout is often preferred for its durability and resistance to mold and mildew.
Fixtures: Consider easy-to-use fixtures, such as lever-handled or touch-controlled faucets and adjustable-height showerheads.
A barrier-free shower installation is a specialized task that requires careful planning and execution. Collaborating with a seasoned contractor like Lonestar Home Solutions ensures the shower will be built to the highest standards of quality and accessibility. By considering the specific needs, preferences, and budget, Texas homeowners can create a barrier-free shower that enhances both functionality and style in their bathroom.

What Our Bathroom Remodeling Clients Say...
Recently worked with LoneStar to remodel a bathroom and replace the kitchen counters and backsplash. They far exceeded my expectations from initial discussions on designs to the completed and flawless finish. Anna was extremely helpful in assisting in selecting designs and colors. They continuously provided progress updates and cleaned at the end of each day. Impeccable costumer service and professional - I highly recommend!
We had our kitchen cabinets updated by painting them white. I am so glad we hired Lonestar Home Solutions and did not try to do it ourself! I knew what I wanted but I felt so much more confident I would get the right look with their help. I was impressed with the companies core values and professionalism and would definitely recommend them! Every part of the experience was smooth and timely. The staff are awesome people to work with! The painter that came to our house was very reliable, punctual, trustworthy, kept all areas clean, and clearly communicated his plans/schedule daily. He did an outstanding job on our cabinets! So go with these pros, you’ll be so glad you did!
I needed some modifications done to my counter and cabinets in my kitchen to accommodate a different style of stove. I had felt unsuccessful in finding someone to do this for me until I met Roland and his crew. They started the transformation quickly and only took 2 short days! They left absolutely no mess or cleaning for me! Thank you for helping me with "Solution "!
My wife and I have used LoneStar Home Solutions on 3 different occasions to do work on our lakehouse in Seguin. The most recent job was the biggest - a kitchen and bath remodel. We have really appreciated the care that their staff puts into making sure the project turns out the way we want it. Alycia, the project coordinator and Roland the construction manager are both excellent. They answer questions, help with decisions, and most importantly, are easy to contact and follow through with their commitments. We would not hesitate to use them again and highly recommend them.
We recently had LoneStar Home Solutions do work on our kitchen and bathroom. Roland was in charge of the crew and Donna was also a supervisor on our job. This company did outstanding work for us. They were very respectful of our time when asking questions. Roland was always accessible to answer any questions that we had. Donna was also keeping us apprised of any changes to or updates in our billing so it was easy to keep up with the accounting part. The work crew were especially kind and they all knew their trade well. We got to know some of the work crew pretty well. Sparky, Johnny, and Victor all did great tile and painting work. The guy who installed the shower also did a great job. I would definitely recommend LoneStar to any of my family members and friends for any remodel job in the future. We are very pleased with the way our home turned out.
LoneStar Solutions just remodeled my kitchen and they did an outstanding job! Donna was amazing. She kept me up to date and informed me about the progress. Roland and his crew made sure my kitchen was going to look good. They took the time to focus on the smallest details which made all the difference. I am very pleased with their work and would recommend them for your next home project.
