What is a shower threshold?
Question:what is the difference between a three sided threshold and a single threshold for shower
Answers:
I assume you're talking about a pre-fab shower pan? The threshold is a wide surface on the rim of the shower pan, intended to mount a glass panel or door.
In a shower where 3 walls are tiled/walled and the door is the only open/glassed side, you'd have a single-threshold. A corner mounted shower with two glass panels would be a double-threshold pan. Typically, triple-thresholds are corner units with the intersection of the two glass walls "beveled", so the corner doesn't protude so far into the bathroom (often done to make room for the swing of the bathroom door), creating a 5-sided pan. But I've also seen 4-sided triple-threshold pans, that mounted against a flat wall, and extended into the room in a bow-like fashion.
Check out the image below of a triple threshold. A single threshold is just your typical square shower bottom. The doors would obviously be different. It took me a while to find this example so you better hook a brotha up with some best answer juice! :) Later.
