I recently built an addition on my home and designed a larger curbless walk in shower and tub.( toilet is in its own little room off the hallway) You make many good points on what makes it so great. No glass panels, doors or anything like that. Wonderful views of the city in an open concept environment. I don’t even have a door on the opening of the room. I guess the only negative is I do put some steam out of the room when I take a really hot shower despite putting a higher cfm vent fan in. I could always add a slider door later but don’t really plan to.

Good to hear.

I'm doing an arch curb, like a speed bump, shower on slab but the BIG issue is moving drain. We have a post tension slab (cables running through slab). These cables run left to right and front to back of slab. You cannot cut or damage the coating or the cable itself. They can be repaired or replaced but it will cost you $$$. I'm using the thinnest layer possible of self-leveling concrete for any imperfections. I would recommend sealing at a minimum of 4 inches up all walls and installing a floating vanity. This will make bathroom appear more open, cleaning easier, tiling easier (in my opinion) and you won't have to worry about water damage to vanity that sits on floor. Side note, linear drains are best installed under shower head to prevent most gunk buildup in them. Any other placement will make you clean them more often than you want or think.

You can put a valve on the shower head to shut off the water when lathering so you are not letting it run if you have problem with water getting out. I do prefer two drains with a trench drain at the perimeter in case the main drain gets inadvertently blocked. When I first built my curbless, trench drains weren't available and on the occasion I can have a little water get out. It was easily remedied with a rubber weatherstrip that a wheelchair can run across. If I had to do it a gain I would put both a traditional drain in the center and trench on the edge. I would also leave the shower area as open as possible using just a regular shower curtain instead of glass or kicker wall to make the area more open and easily accessed by a caregiver If needed.

Have ever seen or installed a curbless shower with a concrete floor for homes that have concrete finish floors?

[@Dtileandremodeling]

No, But I have done curblesss showers on a concrete slab.
