I had thought when I asked for a curbless shower and have floating vanity and toilet, that whole bathroom floor would be sloped by 2 inches from shower drain to threshold at door of room.

My contractor thought that was overkill. I am getting a linear drain installed on the edge of a 5 ft sq curbless shower floor where slope will be 1 3/8 inches within the shower. Floor is level starting at threshold of shower door to threshold of room door.

I searched quite a bit on the web and think he may be right. In detailed installation info on curbless showers, I don't read anything about the 2 inch spec. Regarding showers with a curb, I have found lots of places mentioning the 2 inch spec.

My contractor says because this is curbless AND ADA, the 2 inch slope rule doesn't apply. I question that but I mainly want to know if anyone has a 13 ft long (more or less) bathroom with a 2 inch slope who thinks that slope for the room would feel noticeable to an uncomfortable degree??
