Walk-In Shower Installation in Boynton Beach, FL
Walk-in showers have become the most sought-after bathroom upgrade in Boynton Beach, and for good reason. They are safer, more accessible, more spacious, and dramatically more stylish than traditional tub or shower combinations. Pillar 22 specializes in walk-in shower installation in Boynton Beach, FL, designing and building custom curbless showers that are perfectly suited to South Florida homes, condos, and 55+ communities.
Whether you are removing an old tub to gain space, creating a barrier-free shower for improved accessibility, or building a luxury wet room from scratch, our team handles everything from demolition and plumbing to waterproofing, tile, and frameless glass, with all Palm Beach County permits included.
Walk-In Shower Types We Install in Boynton Beach
Curbless / Zero-Threshold Showers
The floor transitions seamlessly from the bathroom floor into the shower, with a linear drain installed at the entry point or wall. This design is ADA-compliant, visually stunning, and the safest option for older adults. It is the most popular choice in Boynton Beach’s active adult communities.
Custom Tiled Walk-In Showers
Fully tiled walls and floor with your choice of porcelain, ceramic, or natural stone tile. We offer floor-to-ceiling tile, large-format designs (up to 48″x48″ tiles), and decorative mosaic or feature wall options. Every tile installation includes a fully bonded waterproofing membrane.
Frameless Glass Walk-In Showers
Heavy-duty (3/8″ or 1/2″) tempered glass panels and doors with minimal hardware create the open, spa-like look most Boynton Beach homeowners desire. Available in clear, frosted, or rain glass with brushed nickel, matte black, or oil-rubbed bronze hardware.
Wet Room / Open Shower Designs
For larger master bathrooms, a fully open wet room, where the entire bathroom zone is waterproofed and the shower has no enclosure at all, creates a dramatic, hotel-like experience. We waterproof the entire room using bonded membrane systems.
Steam Shower Enclosures
A fully sealed glass enclosure with a steam generator creates a personal spa experience. Pillar 22 installs steam showers with proper vapor barriers, sloped ceilings, teak benches, and thermostatic controls.
