Shower Base Options: Which One Is Right for You?

The shower base (or pan) is the foundation of your shower. Choosing the right one affects comfort, safety, and durability. Here's how to decide.

Onyx Shower Bases

Onyx bases are custom-poured to your exact dimensions — no off-the-shelf sizes, no awkward fits. They're solid, non-porous, and come with a textured slip-resistant surface.

Low-Curb vs. Curbless

• Standard curb: Keeps water contained; works with most bathrooms.
• Low curb: Easier to step over; a middle ground for accessibility.
• Curbless: Zero threshold for wheelchairs and walkers; requires proper floor sloping.

Why a Custom Base Beats a Fiberglass Pan

Fiberglass pans flex, crack, and yellow over time. A solid Onyx base won't flex or crack and is custom-fit to your space — meaning no leaks at the edges.
