Safe and Functional Zero Threshold Shower Base

Design starts with fulfilling a function, and while any shower allows you the opportunity to clean yourself, curbless shower bases from Encompass Shower Bases also deliver superior performance and convenience.  Until recently, showers featured a curb, or lip, at the entrance, ostensibly designed to keep water from spilling out onto the bathroom floor.

Unfortunately, this feature is difficult and even dangerous for some people to maneuver.  What if you tripped while hoisting kids or pets over the threshold?  What if you suffer mobility issues that make navigating this feature treacherous?  What if you’re confined to a wheelchair and you simply can’t get over the curb?

Encompass Shower Bases offers a safe and surprisingly functional alternative.  You might naturally be worried about where water will go when there’s no curb to stop it from escaping the confines of the shower. Our curbless shower pans have accounted for that with a single-slope design that draws water away from the edges of the shower and into a linear drain that slopes to the drain output, leaving no standing water after showering. Our fully waterproof bases fit seamlessly into your bathroom design and keep water where it belongs – in your shower space.

Not only does the zero entry shower pan allow for safe and easy access, but the base is custom made from DuPont Corian solid surface material.  This seamless surface offers the beauty and  functionality you expect, and the single slope is easier to move and balance on than a shower floor that features multiple slopes to a central drain.  Is it the same attractive, resilient Corian used for counter surfaces?  Yes, it is!

Sleek, Modern Design Aesthetic

Once functional aspects have been attended to, it’s time to find a form you appreciate, and Encompass Shower Bases delivers on this score, as well.  Your curbless shower base offers the visual appeal of a totally flush transition from your bathroom floor to the shower interior, supporting a modern, open design aesthetic that makes your space look larger.

You’ll enjoy the elegant simplicity of an Encompass Shower Base, with a mildly-sloped surface that mounts flush and looks flat, thanks to our unique, single-slope design.  Choose from up to 100 custom colors, not to mention custom sizing up to 63”x 59” that can be shipped, (larger bases available when picked up locally at our facility) to ensure a perfect fit.  The end result is a fresh, spa-like atmosphere that adds contemporary polish to any bathroom upgrade.

Easy to Clean and Maintain

If you’ve had a traditional shower stall in the past, you’re likely familiar with the nightmare of cleaning and repairing tile and grout.  With Encompass Shower Bases curbless shower, you’ll never have this high-maintenance headache again.  The seamless, Corian solid surface is not only completely waterproof and for your comfort and safety, but it offers incredible resilience and ease of use.

Corian is stain resistant, non-porous, and easy to clean using standard household shower cleaning products. Even mildly abrasive cleansers should cause no harm to Corian surfaces.  Beautiful, durable, seamless Encompass shower bases make your life easier and elevate the aesthetic appeal of any bathroom.

Encompass Shower Bases products include a 3-year warranty or commercial 1-year warranty from the time of purchase.  When you consider that Corian can last decades without maintenance, however, you’ll see that you’re not likely to need it.

Opportunities to Customize

Just because Encompass curbless shower bases are simple and sleek doesn’t mean your options are limited.  You have plenty of opportunity to customize your solid surface to suit your practical needs and aesthetic preferences.  For starters, you’ll choose from four different base configurations: three wall, glass side wall, partial glass wall, and four wall.  You can also choose combinations of the four base configurations to meet special applications.

Whether you have a corner shower that requires two glass walls, you only need glass on one side of an otherwise enclosed shower, or you have a semi-enclosed space that requires a unique fit, we have the configuration to suit your space.  In addition, the built-in linear drain installs in a matter of hours to provide the clog-free, puddle-free function you expect.

Once you’ve chosen your preferred configuration, you can peruse a wide selection of hundreds of colors for your Corian base, from classic neutrals like whites and grays, to varying shades of blues, greens, and more.  Encompass also offers custom sizes that can be shipped up to 60”x 59”, while most of our bases are square or rectangular, we do offer the option to modify with a combination of two of the four configurations and offer rear clipped corners if required, call for quotes on your desired options..

The Benefits of Corian Solid Surface Material

If you’re familiar with Corian countertops, you already have some idea of the beauty, resilience, and other benefits offered by this solid surface material.  How does this translate to your curbless shower pan?  Not only does flush installation ensure that you can walk into your shower without navigating a curb, but the non-slip surface and single-slope design offer sure footing and better balance, delivering an incredibly safe shower experience.

Non-porous Corian is stain resistant and easy to clean.  Unlike other surfaces (porcelain, composites, natural stone, for example), nearly any household cleaner is safe to use on Corian, and you never have to worry about ruining a finish or damaging the surface.  Corian can last for decades without maintenance, eliminating the hassles of cleaning and maintaining grout or other surface materials. The flat surface of the Encompass bases allows simple use of a squeegee after showering as a key to keeping the surface clean. The shower can be squeegeed in seconds after showering which can extend the need for any cleaning for months.

Encompass shower bases have everything you could need and want, from a high-end aesthetic and modern design, to endless options for customization, to the safety and durability every homeowner craves.
