A Free Walk-In Shower Simulator for Aging in Place

About 4.1 million Americans are turning 65 every year, and most of them want to stay in the homes they already have. That is reshaping how we design bathrooms, and USA Cabinet Store just launched a free tool to help. On this episode of The Remodel Report, Chris and Jessica break down the Walk-In Shower Layout Simulator, built into the company's 22 Walk-In Shower Ideas in 2026 guide. What we cover:- The two trends behind it: the Peak 65 demographic wave and aging in place, and the industry shift toward larger showers over bathtubs. Per the NKBA 2026 Bath Trends Report, 55 percent of professionals now favor a larger shower over a tub, and 89 percent rank bathroom space as a top priority.- The problem: people pick a shower on looks before checking whether it fits their room, controls splash, and retains warmth.- How the simulator uses your real measurements and planning benchmarks to generate layouts you can bring to a consultation.- The big decisions it helps with: curbless versus curbed, warmth and splash control, and materials.- Why curbless design matters for accessibility, and why testing it first is so useful.
