Tile-Ready Options

Curbless, curbed, linear, and wall drain choices

Start with the Right Tile Shower System

Tile shower systems are not one-size-fits-all. Some projects call for a seamless curbless entry with a modern open look, while others need a curbed layout that makes a bathtub replacement simple and practical.

EZ Able® makes it easier to compare the two approaches so you can move into the right page for your project, drain style, layout, and installation goals.

Step 1

Curbless or Curbed?

Start by choosing whether your tile shower needs a barrier-free curbless entrance or a curbed layout designed for tub-to-shower conversions.

Curbless Shower Pan with Linear Drain

Curbless tile shower systems create a seamless transition from dry to wet areas and support a more open, accessible layout. They are a strong choice for modern bathrooms, universal design goals, and projects that prioritize easier entry.

  • Barrier-free shower entry
  • Linear drain and wall drain options
  • Ideal for modern tile layouts
  • Strong fit for accessibility-focused design

Tub to Shower Conversion Kits

Curbed tile shower systems are a smart way to convert a bathtub into a beautiful walk-in shower. They work well when you want a defined shower area and a more traditional conversion approach.

  • Practical tub-to-shower conversions
  • Curbed shower layouts
  • Multiple drain and pan options
  • Great fit for remodel projects

Don’t Want a Prefab Stall? Build a Tiled Shower Instead

A prefabricated stall isn’t your only option. EZ Able® carries QuickDrain USA linear drain systems, so you can build a tiled curbless or curbed shower and finish it with the tile you love. See our ready-to-tile shower bases and linear drains.

Expedited Shipping Available

When your schedule is tight, ask about expedited shipping. Check shipping times and lead times.

Very Little Chance of Shipping Damage

It ships in a box, not a large freight crate.

Your Tile, Your Look

The drain disappears into a floor that matches the rest of your bathroom.

The Drain Is One Part of the Shower

A linear drain doesn’t make a shower by itself. You’ll also need a sloped pan or sloping panels, waterproofing and tile. Tell us your shower size and whether you want curbless or curbed, and we’ll help you match the parts so nothing is missing on install day. The product spec sheets and installation instructions list what each system needs.

Building curbless? Plan the finished floor height. With a tiled curbless shower, the step you feel is set by your finished floor, not the drain. If you need an ADA roll-in shower, the 2010 ADA Standards (608.7) cap the threshold at 1/2 inch, measured against the finished floor. Settle that with your installer before the subfloor is framed.

EZ Able® Is with You Every Step of the Way

From your first call to product selection, EZ Able® helps simplify the process of choosing the right shower system for your plans, budget, and timeline.

Whether you are planning a curbless tile shower or a curbed tub conversion, our team can help you compare system types, drain styles, and installation needs. Need to know about payment options or return requests? We have you covered.
