Bathroom Accessibility

Q: What are the requirements for a disabled toilet?

In Australia, there are several requirements for a disabled toilet. Doorways should be at least 0.7 m in width. There should also be a minimum circulation space of 0.9 m x 0.9 m on either side of the toilet door. There should be two grab rails on either side of the toilet and an accessible washbasin that doesn’t interfere with the turning circle.

Q: How big is a wheelchair-accessible bathroom?

In Australia, a wheelchair-accessible bathroom has to be big enough for the wheelchair to make a 180-degree turn. While some bathrooms can vary in size, most are at least 75 cm by 120 cm.

Bathroom accessibility products are bathroom products that aid users with mobility issues, by providing a comfortable bathroom experience. Whether you need bathroom accessibility products for your home or business, ArchiPro has a range of high-quality grab rails, shower seats and accessible toilets for your needs, sourced from trusted suppliers in Australia.

Featuring the best bathroom accessibility products in Australia

All bathrooms should be comfortable, accessible and convenient for everyone, including individuals with low mobility or physical disabilities. ArchiPro’s range of high-quality bathroom accessibility products comes from trusted suppliers with years of experience in Australia, manufactured to a high standard with safety and comfort in mind. This premium range also has strong design qualities, meaning you can keep your bathroom stylish too.

Types of bathroom accessibility products

Grab rails

Grab rails are safety fixtures that allow the user to support themselves while manoeuvring to improve balance and reduce fatigue. Grab rails come in various styles and shapes including v-shaped and straight across.

Shower seats

Shower seats allow the user to have a rest throughout the showering process and can aid caretakers when bathing the individual. Shower seats can be freestanding or attached to walls.

Accessible toilets

Toilets are often one of the hardest bathroom products to manoeuvre around, so it’s important to make them as accessible as possible for the elderly and those in wheelchairs. Accessible toilets help tremendously with these issues.

Accessible showers

Accessible shower products allow for easier grip and support, plus have non-slip functions. For many low mobility users, flexible showerheads and wider water control systems are needed.

The advantages of high-quality bathroom accessibility products

When choosing bathroom accessibility products, always opt for high-quality options from reputable suppliers. High-quality bathroom accessibility products allow you to maximise your space while streamlining the showering or bathing process. You’ll also be able to achieve a sleek and cohesive look with high-quality materials including stainless steel and copper. If you prefer plastic bathroom accessibility products, high-quality options are made from premium plastic that is durable and lightweight with smooth and easy to wipe surfaces.

How to choose bathroom accessibility products that are right for you

One of the best things about installing bathroom accessibility products in Australia is how easily they can be customised for you and your loved ones’ needs. There are a number of bathroom accessibility products that are essential for minimising accidents including accessible toilets and grab rails. However, accessible showers and baths can be interchangeable depending on your preferences. For the best convenience and hygiene, choose low-maintenance finishes and materials, like plastic or stainless steel. You also need to think about smaller details too in accessible bathroom design. For example, larger or lever-style handles are a better choice than small knobs for shower doors.

How can I make my bathroom more accessible?

There are several simple ways to make your bathroom more accessible if you’re not looking for a complete renovation. Modifying the entranceway with grab handles and a wider door frame allows wheelchair access and minimises the risk of falling. Ensure your bathtubs and showers are barrier-free and place a shower chair inside if you have space. Toilet seats should be wide and comfortable, with grab handles on the walls close to the toilet and basin.
