ADA-Compliant Decor for Your Home

With the emerging variety of accessible products, your bathroom can be stylish, functional, and safe for those with physical limitations. An accessible space can be created with a combination of ADA compliant items and items not listed as ADA compliant when used carefully and properly. Use the following tips to make your bathroom more accessible and reduce the risk of accidents or injuries: Grab Bars Grab bars play a very important role in accessible bathroom design. They should be installed within reaching distance from the bathtub or shower, toilet, and any place where standing for long periods may cause fatigue. It is very important that grab bars be secured to wall studs or solid wood blocking behind the finished wall so that they are able to support adequate weight without damaging the wall and causing serious harm to the user. Accessible grab bars should be able to withstand over 250 pounds of force. When creating an accessible bathroom, look for ADA-compliant grab bars, or grab bars with a diameter of 1-1/4" to 1-1/2". Grab bars should be installed 33"-36" from the floor with a 1-1/2" clearance from the wall. Our ADA-compliant grab bars are available in a variety of styles and finishes to compliment any bathroom decor. Toilets Thermostatic and Pressure Balanced Valves Thermostatic and pressure balanced mixing valves control hot water temperatures to a safe level, preventing accidents through scalding. Thermostatic valves mix hot and cold water to ensure a constant, safe temperature. Pressure balanced valves regulate water pressure and prevent fluctuations in temperature. Either of these would be smart additions to an accessible design because they make it difficult to increase the temperature above or below preset levels.
