Definitions
Common terms

Floor set-down
The depth available to form drainage falls so water runs to the waste without creating a trip hazard.
Splash control
The screen, curtain, falls and shower-head placement choices that keep water contained.
Local relevance
Brisbane hobless shower constraints
In elevated timber homes, floor framing and plumbing routes affect how easily a hobless shower can be formed. In slab-on-ground homes and apartments, existing set-downs, body corporate rules and drainage positions can be the limiting factor.
A good scope should address falls to drain, waterproofing, screen or curtain layout, splash control and future rail positions rather than simply saying “remove the hob”.

View page →Frequently asked questions
Is a hobless shower the same as a walk-in shower?
Not exactly. A walk-in shower usually means easier open entry, while hobless means there is no raised shower step. Some walk-in showers still have a small threshold; a true hobless shower is more dependent on drainage and floor falls.
Can a hobless shower be installed in a Brisbane apartment?
Sometimes, but apartments can be harder because of slab depth, waterproofing responsibility, drainage constraints and body corporate approvals. A site inspection is essential.
Is this NDIS funding advice?
No. Confirm funding requirements, approval pathway and provider status with the NDIA, occupational therapist, plan manager or support coordinator.
Does hobless mean water goes everywhere?
It should not if designed properly. Falls, drain placement, screen or curtain choice and shower size all affect splash control.
