Bathroom adapted for people with disabilities – comfort, safety and independence
Safe and comfortable use of the bathroom for people with disabilities is one of the main prerequisites of everyday life. Hygienic procedures such as washing hands and face, taking a shower or using the toilet require a properly adapted space.
Toilet for people with disabilities
VitrA offers both floor-standing and wall-hung toilets for people with disabilities, which differ from the standard ones in dimensions and installation parameters:
Toilet length – 70–75 cm
The height of the seating surface should be completed from the floor – 46 cm
The washbasin for people with disabilities has a recessed front part, which makes it easier for a person using a wheelchair to approach.
The mixer is distinguished by a long and curved handle, which ensures easy water control from any position.
VitrA’s adaptive mirror has the ability to tilt forward and backward, which allows the user to easily fix it in the desired position.
Grip bars are installed next to the toilet, shower and bathtub. They are made of 304 grade stainless steel and are equipped with an anti-slip surface.
For a wheelchair user, a grab bar is required on one side of the toilet, and a support fixed to the wall or floor on the other side. It is recommended to install vertical grab bars near the washbasin and mirror.
A seat is mainly used in the shower and has the ability to fold. It is ideal for both wheelchair users and elderly people.
General arrangement standards
When arranging a bathroom for people with disabilities, it is necessary to provide free space for a wheelchair. Installation of accessories should be done according to recommended standards, however, the final solution should be individually tailored to the user's needs.
