Bathroom GFCI & Electrical Code
Florida adopts the NEC, so your bathroom needs GFCI on every outlet, one receptacle within 3 ft of each basin, nothing inside the tub/shower zone, and a 20A circuit. Here is the code, plainly.

Curbless Walk-In Showers in Florida
A curbless shower has no dam to hold water back, so the slab itself does the work. Here is how the floor is recessed, sloped to a linear or center drain, and sealed to ANSI A118.10 in a Florida home.

How We Write
This is an install crew's blog, not a content farm. Every article goes through the same standard before it runs — no syndicated boilerplate, no specs we can't point to a published source for.
Specs, Not Guesses
Waterproof ratings, wear-layer mils, PEI grades, Janka numbers, and MVER limits come from manufacturer data sheets and published standards — TCNA, NWFA, ASTM — cited by name, not paraphrased.
Built For This Climate
Every recommendation is filtered through Florida conditions: year-round humidity, slab-on-grade moisture, salt air on the coast, and the wet-room reality of a hot, rainy state.
Code Cited By Section
When a project touches the Florida Building Code or High-Velocity Hurricane Zone rules, we name the code and section rather than summarize it loosely. If we're unsure, we say so.
Information Gain
Each article has to add something the rest of the internet doesn't — a spec table, a moisture limit, a code reference, or a field detail. If a topic already has 50 generic guides, we bring data or we don't publish.
