Key Features of an Accessible Bathroom

Accessible bathrooms are intended to allow people with disabilities to use them as safely and independently as possible. If this is a priority for you as a homeowner, a bathroom renovation project can help you accomplish your goals. DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of Central Texas has some key features to consider when designing an accessible bathroom.

Features to Consider

A Spacious Layout

The amount of room available in a bathroom is perhaps the most important factor to consider. Mobility devices such as wheelchairs must fit in the room. In addition, the sink should have enough space underneath it so that wheelchair users can roll directly up to the sink.

A Wider Doorway

Design experts advise making doorways wider than usual to make it easier for wheelchair users to access the bathroom. In addition, make sure that there are no obstructions at the entryway. It’s also ideal that the door material is lightweight and the door swings outwards.

Grab Bars

Grab bars offer support and stability when using the toilet or shower area. They allow people who have mobility issues to preserve their independence while using the bathroom, and should be at the top of a mobility remodeling to-do list.

A Higher Toilet Seat

A higher toilet seat makes it easier for those with limited mobility to get up and down. The height of the seat should be close to the height of a wheelchair seat, making it easier to transition from the wheelchair to the toilet and vice versa.
