💡 Why Homeowners Love Walk-In Showers
Walk-in showers aren’t just trending — they’re here to stay.
According to the National Kitchen & Bath Association, walk-in showers are one of the most requested features in modern bathroom remodels — especially for homeowners over 55.
Here’s why more homeowners in Des Moines, Omaha, and all across the Midwest are ditching the tub:
- Easy to access — No step-over ledges, great for seniors and mobility needs
- Modern aesthetic — Clean lines, open feel, minimal hardware
- Low maintenance — Fewer nooks = easier to clean
- Saves space — Especially ideal in smaller bathrooms
- Boosts resale — Often seen as a premium upgrade by buyers
