In Chicago’s Wrightwood neighborhood, a new group home sets the standard for accessible living. Schluter’s integrated shower systems delivered fully ADA-compliant, curbless bathrooms that balance safety, comfort, and style. Using KERDI-LINE-VARIO drains, prefabricated sloped trays, edge-protection profiles, and DITRA underlayment, the project ensures long-term durability and refined finishes—proving accessibility can be both functional and beautiful.
Schluter®-Systems is pleased to announce the launch of Schluter®-DESIGN-NICHE, a modern, prefabricated aluminum shower niche designed to provide effortless storage with a clean, finished look—no tile required, resulting in a time-saving installation.
Bathrooms today are more than utilitarian spaces—they're carefully curated environments meant to feel calm, cohesive, and personal. Every detail matters, especially in the shower, where function and form should work seamlessly together. One of the biggest design challenges? Storage.
Open concept bathrooms are coveted for their sleek design and functionality. Showers without a curb, or curbless showers offer a seamless look by allowing the bathroom floor tile to continue directly into the shower area, without the need for an elevated curb, lip, or threshold.
