Start with the entry
A curbless shower is the single biggest change. Nothing to step over, room for a shower chair or a wheelchair, and a floor that slopes gently to a linear drain. Wider doorways and a pocket door help too, and they get planned at the same time.
Grab bars in the right places
A grab bar is only as strong as what's behind it. We add solid blocking in the wall during rough-in, at the heights that suit the people using the room, even if some bars won't go up until later. Brushed nickel or matte black bars can match the rest of the fixtures.
A fold-down seat and grab bars that match the fixturesThe details that matter
- A fold-down or built-in shower seat, with the controls reachable from it.
- A handheld shower on a slide bar, so it works seated or standing.
- A comfort-height toilet with a grab bar beside it.
- A wall-hung vanity with knee space underneath.
- Slip-resistant floor tile, and good, even light.
A handheld shower on a slide bar works seated or standingIf the bathroom is for someone using a wheelchair or walker, or recovering from surgery, their therapist's advice on heights and clearances comes first. We build to it.
