Increased accessibility in the bathroom

Design for Accessibility

Easily accessible, barrier-free bathrooms – for those who want universal design regardless of their age or specific needs.

Whether you're a plumber or a designer, planning a barrier-free, accesible bathroom is a challenge – and an opportunity. The challenge is to account for a whole range of potential restrictions on the ability of users to move around or perceive objects, all within one of the smallest spaces in the home. The opportunity? Increasing the quality of life for your clients and their loved ones.
