Contractors who are responsible for Division 10 specialties and products can rely upon XPB Locker Supply to provide them with a bid configuration that is both profitable and characterized by superior quality at the line item level. 

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.
