New options for restroom access
A new generation of plumbing fixtures can ensure user comfort and facility compliance
Plumbing fixtures, systems and accessories continue to change in response to facility access needs and occupant expectations.
The challenge for maintenance and engineering managers is to ensure restrooms comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act access guidelines (ADAAG) and, at the same time, are costeffective to maintain. Managers must specify products and create plumbing systems that meet all of these demands.
A review of product trends related to restroom fixtures reveals that today, managers and specifiers have more options than ever before.
Barrier-free access
When barrier-free access became law for public, commercial and institutional restrooms, ensuring access suddenly became good business practice, not just the right thing to do. Today, ADAAG has become a dominant influence when it comes to designing plumbing products that ensure equal access to all areas of restrooms.
