Express® Lavatory System - SS-3When building a new restroom, or renovating an existing restroom, contractors will need to install at least oneADA lavatory.  With a wide range of styles, materials, and sizes, there are plenty of models to choose from that fit the basic accessibility requirements of the Federal Government.  However, many parts of the country are governed by additional regulatory codes that stipulate additional requirements for handicapped accessible commercial restroom fixtures.  It is important to classify the project itself, carefully study the nature of the facility, and understand the needs of its users in order to make the best choice possible for hand washing stations. 

 

The project itself can be classified as either a new construction or a renovation.  In many cases, these two project types consist of vastly different expectations.  New constructions feature designs that are integral to overall building design.  Functionality and aesthetics are easier to blend because the entire construction has been carefully planned in advance from the ground up.  Choosing the best ADA lavatory for this type of facility can be approached by comparing features of the most efficient bathroom sinks with materials and styles that best compliment building architecture.  Budgets are often higher in these cases to cover the cost of constructing the entire building.  Restroom size can be adjusted, to some extent, prior to actual build out in order to make room for the very best fixtures and accessories.

 

In buildings with high restroom traffic, the number of disabled users willExpress undoubtedly run proportionally higher than in low traffic facilities.  If wall space permits, there are a number of lines, such as the Bradley Frequency series, that feature exceptional knee clearance for wheelchair bound users combined with multi-user capability.  Ultra contemporary designs can be complimented with ADA lavatories such as the Verge system or the Natural Quartz OmniDeck. 

 

Renovations are not so easy.   Many times, only the restrooms are upgraded inside an older building, and contractors are expected to vastly improve the appearance, efficiency, and accessibility of the new bathroom within the confines of a comparatively limited budget.  Contractors are frequently challenged in such a situation because no matter how high the expectations of the facility may be; fixtures must be chosen that are expected to drastically improve the quality of the restroom interior within the strict confines of existing floor space and wall space.  Smaller lavatories may need to be chosen because they fit within the dimensions of the existing structure.  Innovative designs may also need to be explored in order to make the most of available space.  

 

For these restrooms, the best ADA lavatories may not be technically classified as lavatories at all.  ADA compliant corner washfountains that can accommodate several users at once have proven to be a highly effective solution to problems of accessibility and severely limited space in small restrooms.  In small and mid-sized restrooms with medium to high traffic, another line to consider is the Express Crescent series, which combines multi-user functionality in a single bowl design.
