Frequently asked questions
Is a curbless floor realistic in an older Austin home?+
Often yes, especially in pier-and-beam intown homes across Hyde Park, North Loop, and other nearby areas, the drain can usually be lowered into the joist bay. In slab-on-grade Allandale / Brentwood / Crestview / Northwest Hills / older Pflugerville stock and post-tension slab Circle C / Avery / Steiner / Brushy Creek / Wolf Ranch / Belterra subdivisions a curbless entry needs slab work (and rebar mapping in post-tension), so a low-threshold (1.5–2 inch) entry is often the more practical compromise.
