Accessible Restrooms are facilities designed to accommodate individuals with disabilities, ensuring safe and independent use. Key features include:
- Wider entry doors (at least 81 cm (32″ inches”)) and spacious interiors for wheelchair manoeuvrability
- Grab bars near toilets and sinks for support
- Lowered sinks (86 cm (34″) high) and touchless fixtures for ease of use
- Raised toilets (43-48 cm (17–19″) high) with adjacent clear floor space
- Emergency call buttons and tactile signage for visually impaired users
Compliant with ISO 21542 ADA Standards, accessible restrooms prioritise inclusivity in public spaces, workplaces, and residential buildings. They benefit wheelchair users, seniors, and individuals with mobility or sensory impairments, while also aiding parents with strollers. Proper design includes slip-resistant flooring and clear pathways, ensuring compliance with accessibility laws and universal design principles.
