Barrier Free Architecturals FAQ

Does Barrier Free Architecturals offer a warranty?

Yes, but it depends on the product. Shower pans and ADA-compliant showers include a limited 30-year warranty, while walk-in tubs have a lifetime warranty.

Are Barrier Free Architecturals’ walk-in showers covered by Medicare?

Medicare typically doesn't pay for bathroom upgrades like walk-in showers or tubs. In some cases, Medicare Advantage Plans or state programs might reimburse you if the shower or tub is medically necessary, though.

Do Barrier Free Architecturals walk-in showers require a bathroom remodel?

Installation usually requires some minor remodeling, but it might be less than you think. Barrier Free Architecturals’ tubs and showers are designed for simple installation, so you won't necessarily need to lower floors or remove walls. While plumbing typically doesn't need to be completely replaced, your old tub or shower will likely need to be removed if you're getting a replacement.

Do Barrier Free Architecturals walk-in showers meet ADA requirements?

Barrier Free Architecturals does offer ADA-compliant showers, but not all of its designs are meant to fit these standards.
