Designing Your Bathroom

We help you design your accessible bathroom so it works for you. We chat with you and your family to determine your requirements and the space you have available in your home. We look at doors, cabinets, counter tops, appliances, sinks, electrical, plumbing and flooring to design the perfect kitchen for you and your family. From there we design a remodeling plan.

Wall Mounted Sinks

A wall mounted sink attaches directly to a bathroom wall and is open underneath. If you are in a wheelchair a wall hung sink allows you to get closer to the sink.

Comfort Height Toilet

Today’s so-called “comfort height” or “right height” toilets feature bowls that are 17 to 18 inches high, as compared to the standard 15 inches of a regular toilet. The higher bowl height can be good for the knees and back and can offer real advantages to taller folks and the elderly and disable folk’s with mobility issues.

Offset Door Hinges

People using a wheelchair or walker. Doors can be widened but it can be an inconvenience and costly. An alternative solution might be replacing your existing hinges with the offset door hinge. These special hinges are designed to swing the door clear of the opening adding about 2″ additional clearance for wheelchairs and walkers.

Shower Seating

What is shower seating? Shower seating can be free standing waterproof chairs or a shower bench mounted to the shower stall wall.
Why do you want shower seating in an accessible bathroom? Shower seating provides stability for people with a disability and elders in the shower. It gives them a resting place while showering. This helps to prevent falls and reduces fatigue.
