To help builders market to the growing number of buyers concerned about aging in place, Sterling offers a 60-by-32-inch shower base and walls with a freestanding seat. The shower offers an easy and cost-effective bath-to-shower conversion that can be completed in one to two days. Specifically designed as a replacement for a 60-by-32-inch bathtub, the new Ensemble shower base features an end drain, eliminating the need for extensive piping work when moving from a bathtub to a shower. The Ensemble shower base offers a safer entry and exit, with a 3½-inch base threshold (compared with the average 14- or 16-inch bathtub threshold). The shower includes built-in shelves, comes in a neutral color, and is easy to clean.
