Accessible Bathroom Remodeling

Accessibility remodeling should begin with the person using the room, their mobility and the tasks that are difficult today. Generic product lists are not a substitute for individualized planning.

Home / Accessible Bathroom Remodeling: Plan for Safer Daily Use

Reduce avoidable barriers

Consider entry width, threshold height, turning space, fixture clearances and whether commonly used controls can be reached comfortably.

Plan support before finishes close the walls

If grab bars may be useful now or later, discuss proper backing and mounting locations before wall finishes are installed. Safety-critical installations should follow applicable product and building requirements.

Choose surfaces for real use

Wet-area flooring, lighting contrast and glare, shower controls and storage height can all affect usability. Evaluate the room as a sequence of daily tasks.
