  2. Our Mission We chose to redesign two normal household bathrooms into one handicap accessible bathroom. To accommodate for the individual’s disability, we need to allow for lower sinks, showers that lay flat on the floor and are equipped with specialized equipment, rails on the walls near the toilet, and a wider door to allow the individual to easily maneuver in his or her new bathroom.

  3. Handicap Door Process: We remove the existing door unit, relocate the light switch, widen the framed opening, install a new wider door unit and repair the finished flooring. With experience, two good carpenters will complete this in about 8 hours. The final product will be a 36” wide door that a wheel chair will fit through.

  4. Bars and sink • Sink needs an opening of 30 inches high and 34 inches wide so wheel chair can go under them • Use lever handles on sink. • Need to install balance bars near toilet, bath tub, and shower. • Reinforce the walls with plywood to install the bars.

  5. Bars and sink The grab bars shall be 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 inches in diameter and not mounted more then 1 1/2 inches from the wall. The side grab bar shall be a minimum of 42 inches in length placed 12 inches from the back wall. The back grab bar shall be 36 inches in length and shall be centered on the toilet with at least 12 inches extending beyond the toilet toward the sidewall. All grab bars shall be located between 33 and 36 inches in height from the finished floor.

  6. Shower & bath Process: Remove the existing bathtub and the drain. Turn off the water supply for the tub. Then unscrew the faucet handles, the stems and the tub spout. Disconnect the drain cover and the overflow. Take off one row of tiles above the tub to expose the clips that fasten the tub to the wall. Disconnect the fasteners. Then use a crowbar to pry the tub away from the walls. Slide the tub out and close the drain opening.

  7. Shower & bath • Specifics: • Bench seat in shower (17”-19” above floor) • Roll in shower • Needs to be at least 36”x36”

  8. Cabinets • Handicap cabinets • Motorized sink cabinets includes ability to raise and lower cabinets to convenient height • The touch of a button raises and lowers your sink height from 28 to 36 inches • When at lower positions, the height is ideal for wheelchairs

  9. Specifics • Don’t use rugs, use non-slip floor • Make door handles lever-type handles • 32” path and 5’ turning radius • Electric outlets should be 6” higher than usual • Make toilet 18” high • Mirrors should be tilted
