Frequently asked questions

Is a curbless flooring realistic in an older Nashville home?+

Often yes, especially in crawlspace homes across East Nashville, Lockeland Springs, Inglewood, 12 South, Belmont-Hillsboro, and other nearby areas Bellevue / Old Hickory stock, the drain can usually be lowered into the joist bay. In slab Antioch, Cane Ridge, and newer Bellevue / Hermitage-edge subdivisions a curbless entry needs slab work, so a low-threshold (1.5–2 inch) entry is often the more practical compromise.
