A curbed shower pan serves as the floor or base to direct the water to the drain. The curb is really what they call the threshold, or where you enter the shower when the door or curtain is open. A single curb or edge is about 2 “ to 6 “ high, that you must step over to enter.

A Curbless or barrier-free shower pan have no threshold because there usually intended for homes where family members use a wheelchair or walker.
