ADA Restroom Floor Plans for Handicapped Bathrooms

Toilets for ADA restroom floor plans for handicapped bathroom can be any type.  XPB Locker, however, recommends stainless steel as the most practical and durable material to use for the construction of accessible restrooms.  The type of the toilet is not nearly as important as the height of the toilet seat.  Depending on whether the toilet is in a standard compartment or a larger walk-in compartment, toilet seat height must be 17 to 19 inches above the floor.  The toilet should also be offset from the center to safeguard privacy.

Check with municipal authorities to see if any additional local regulations apply to your build out, and talk to your account representative at XPB Locker about specific configurations that can be developed with Bradley Corporation Mills Partitions

Partitions must be used to build stalls that have outswinging doors that further protect user privacy.  Grab bars are a mandated fixture in every ADA restroom floor plan for handicapped bathrooms.  Grab bars ensure that users who are wheelchair bound can maneuver from their chairs to toilet seats without falling.  Grab bars must be able to support at least 250 pounds of lift weight so that physically challenged persons can safely grip them, balance on them, and swing over to the toilet seat.  They must also be able to swing back to their chairs when ready to leave the restroom.

Talk to your XPB Locker representative about grab bar distance from the walls, positioning on partition walls, and height from the floor.

Lavatories for ADA restroom floor plans for handicapped bathrooms must allow physically challenged persons ample leg room to wheel chairs up to the edge of the sink counter and wash their hands.  Accessibility to water and soap is a must.  Most sinks can be configured ADA compliant, but the best models that are latest on the market are the new wave design sinks that allow users to get extra close to water and soap sources.  Capacitance sensing allows for touch free water discharge so users do not have to handle any fixtures. 

Mirrors in ADA restroom floor plans for handicapped bathrooms must be no higher than 40 inches above the ground.  We have a number of models on our site that can be used in conjunction with everything from standard restroom designs for single users to high end, multi-user facilities.  However, Bradley Corporation recommends a full length mirror to satisfy the requirements of both handicapped persons and standing persons.

We also recommend the convenience and hygiene of touch-free hand dryers in ADA restroom floor plans for handicapped bathrooms.  Protruding only a few inches from the wall, these dryers offer all users a convenient, clean, and comfortable alternative to the problematics of paper towels.
