curbless
Lacking raised edges
Curbless describes something without a curb—the raised edge that typically separates a sidewalk from a street or a shower floor from the bathroom.
Curbless showers have become popular in accessible and modern design, allowing smooth entry without stepping over a barrier: The curbless shower makes wheelchair access easier.
A curbless street design eliminates the traditional divide between roadway and pedestrian space.
