ADA Barrier Free Showers?

What are some of your best methods of installing ADA barrier free shower stalls? Are you guys tiling the base? Such as Schluter Ditra or are you installing the base and surrounds?

Depends on the job budget, Mustee makes a barrier free molded stone base that can be used with either a vinyl wall system or tile for commercial applications, for the homes, we usually see them poured in place and tiled.

Re: ADA Barrier Free Showers?

I did one last year with a 72x48 best bath unit that was pretty nice ($$$). It was a 5 piece remodel unit, but was very well built. Had about 3/4" entry slope.

Can't find the same one, but here's one like it...
