Commercial washroom accessories by
Bradley Corporation incorporate a blend of functionality and aesthetics. Experts on staff can guide contractors
in choosing the most cost-effective, durable products that represent the best
solution for both new constructions and remodels. We can ensure compliance with ADA
guidelines while also catering to the convenience of the average user.
ADAAG compliance is always a major consideration in commercial
restroom design. When dealing with
the issues of accessibility, there is always more for the contractor to consider
than the simple letter of the law.
Compliance is one thing.
Convenience and maximum satisfaction of those with high expectations is
another.
By paying attention to many practical considerations that may or may
not be specifically addressed in code, contractors who bid commercial washroom
accessories at a higher level of accessibility and performance will have a
greater opportunity to win bids.
Maneuverability is one major consideration to hold in mind when
choosing Division 10 specialties and products for commercial washroom
design. One of the biggest mistakes
that contractors can make in smaller restrooms is the inadvertent wasting of
floor space caused by accessories protruding too far from the wall.
In remodels, surface mounted or semi-recessed mirrors, disposal
units, medicine cabinets, paper towel
dispensers, and combination units should protrude no more than 4 inches from
the wall to avoid blocking safe and comfortable passage by wheelchair bound
persons.
In new constructions, contractors can use recess mounted Division 10
specialties and products that are completely flush with walls. This is ideally the best way to mount
commercial washroom fixtures if so permitted by budget and blue print
guidelines.
Hand dryers should be mounted to the
side of the sink, or on a separate wall.
They should be low enough that persons in chairs can dry their hands without
having to strain to reach over a countertop. Ideally, units with IR sensors should be
used so all the person has to do is place the hands under the nozzle to trigger
air flow.
The location of garbage cans should also be carefully planned out
when purchasing Division 10 specialties and products. Some blue prints may call for these cans
to be mounted in or under the sink.
This creates an obstruction for wheelchairs that can violate the
standards of the ADAAG.
Look instead for wall mounted trash cans on our site that include
paper towel dispensers and mirrors.
Available in recessed, semi-recessed, and surface mounted designs, these
combination units can be positioned in very narrow spaces that offer no
impediment to leg room, and that are easy for handicapped users to
access.
Finally, be mindful of the age of the average user that is visiting
the restroom. If they are mostly
children, then commercial washroom accessories such as mirrors, toilet paper
dispensers, and soap dispensers have to be within reach of their arms and
hands.

customization, configuration, and layout options for Division 10 specialties and
