Planning accessible showers and disabled friendly bathrooms takes experience and understanding as all our customers’ needs are different. We have more than 15 years of experience in accessible shower design and we find practical solutions that make life easier and safer for those with a disability. Sometimes it can be as simple as removing a bathtub and installing an easy access shower, and on other occasions the work can be more extensive. There are many considerations when planning accessibility and safety in a bathroom, some of these include
Every person has different needs and present and future requirements should be taken into account when designing an accessible shower or bathroom. Planning ahead ensures that if a person’s health should deteriorate the bathroom will still be suitable.
A shower without a lip is ideal for people using a wheelchair, walker or for someone who is at risk for falls and can be used by everyone regardless of ability.
Wall mounted sinks and vanities are generally better suited for accessible showers and bathrooms particularly if a wheelchair needs to be accommodated.
Mounting a lower placed mirror, extra-long mirror or tilt mirror that everyone can use is an important consideration for disabled bathroom renovations.
Some clients feel more comfortable using a tub than a shower and accessible bathroom design should take this into account. We find that we are often asked to remove a bathtub and install an accessible shower for clients with mobility issues.
Good lighting in the bathroom is important for safety and motion detecting lights can be used when access to switches is difficult.
There is a lot to think about when planning accessible showers and disabled friendly bathrooms so it makes sense to get expert advice to ensure that you end up with a bathroom that meets your specific needs and requirements.
