Title: Bathroom remodeling: What things to consider before redesign your bathroom?


1
Bathroom Remodeling Basics You Should be Aware of
According to the ADA
2
  • 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.

Bathroom Remodeling Other Things to Consider
  • To keep disabled individuals from falling and
    hurting themselves, its much better to put grab
    bars around the toilet, bath, sink shower area.
    Be sure that you reinforce the walls where the
    grab bars are placed since they are known for
    holding a great deal of wait.
  • There are many places that you can install grab
    bars whether they are behind the toilet tank, on
    each side of the toilet, above the tank, in roll
    in showers, next to fold out seats and more.
    Custom Enclosed showers require that you check
    with the instructions of the manufacturer.

  • This way, you have a clear idea of how high you
    need to place them. Be sure to invest in doors
    with levers so that disabled individuals can open
    them easily. The same is true for bathtubs, sinks
    and showers.
  • Install temperature control dials which will keep
    the disabled from scalding themselves. Switches
    and outlets should also be a major concern for
    remodeled bathrooms that fit ADA standards. They
    should be positioned at a height that makes it
    simple for disabled individuals to reach them
    when needed.

7
  • A ground fault interpreter on the front or side
    of the bathroom counter can make this possible.
    Search online for the best advice on a cheap
    bathroom remodel for the disabled. Dont forget
    that there should be LEDs or fluorescent bulbs in
    the bathroom.
  • Bathroom remodel contractors will inform you that
    these last much longer. Besides, disabled people
    require help changing out bulbs. With these
    bulbs, they wont have to worry about changing
    them out often at all. Get started on your
    bathroom remodeling project today.
