According to the ADA

• The ADA has certain standards when comes to
  remodeling a bathroom for the disabled. In case
  youre not aware of what the ADA is, it is also
  known as the Americans with Disabilities Act. If
  you are performing bath renovations for a
  disabled individual, then according to the ADA,
  you must be able to push a wheelchair in the
  remodeled bathroom and turn it around for it to
  be considered acceptable.
• In order to comply with these standards, your
  bathroom remodeling project should begin with
  designer bathroom accessories India. The reason
  being is because the disabled person will need to
  be able to enter the bathroom without doing any
  damage to the door or themselves and without
  struggling to get in with their wheelchair. An
  adequate measurement of the entry way should be
  about 36 inches. Some people prefer not to have
  their doors expanded or changed too much. In this
  case, you may find comfort in using a 30 inch
  door which is also efficient.

Bathroom Remodeling Things to Consider

• One of the most important things that you need to
  consider when doing a bath remodel is the overall
  size of your bathroom. In order for a wheel chair
  to be able to turn around in it, it needs to have
  an area of 50-68 inches. This area allows a
  disabled person to access everything when it is
  in front of the toilet or sink.
• All fixtures should be about 32 inches high. This
  will allow disabled individuals to reach them
  without any complications. The wheel chair and
  the toilet bowl should both be the same height.
  It should also be oval shaped.

• Other important things that you should consider
  when implementing new bathroom remodeling designs
  for disabled people are the bath and shower. Your
  small bathroom design should include a device
  that will help lift the individual out of the
  wheelchair and into the tub.
• It should also be able to seat them back a little
  further for comfortable seating. Most people
  prefer the roll in showers that have let down
  seats because they are much more convenient to
  incorporate into your bathroom design ideas.

  them easily. The same is true for bathtubs, sinks
  and showers.

  the disabled from scalding themselves. Switches
  and outlets should also be a major concern for
