The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) doesn't specify exact bathroom sizes, but it focuses on ensuring clear maneuvering space for wheelchairs. As a general guide:
- Clear floor space: 5 feet x 5 feet minimum in front of the toilet, sink, and tub/shower.
- Doorway width: 32 inches minimum clearance.
- Turning space: 60 inches diameter circle or T-shaped space with 36 inches minimum width arms.
The minimum door width for an ADA-compliant bathroom is 32 inches. This allows for wheelchairs and other assistive devices to easily pass through.
A shower bed is a lowered section of the bathroom floor specifically designed for wheelchair users. It eliminates the step into the shower and provides a level surface for rolling in and out. Shower beds can be built-in or portable, and come in various sizes and styles.
ADA-compliant toilets must be positioned with the seat 17-19 inches above the floor. Grab bars on either side and side transfer space are also essential. It's crucial to consult with an ADA-certified contractor for proper installation and compliance.
Look for local contractors with specific certifications in accessibility design and construction. Ask for references, check online reviews, and compare quotes before making a decision.
