Bathroom Accessibility Modifications Warrnambool
We specialize in creating accessible bathroom spaces tailored to meet individual needs. Our accessibility modification renovations include a range of features designed to enhance safety and ease of use.
We install grab bars strategically around toilets, showers, and bathtubs to offer additional support and prevent falls. For shower access, we recommend walk-in or roll-in designs, which eliminate barriers and accommodate wheelchairs and walkers effortlessly. Our adjustable shower heads, which can be handheld and set to different heights, provide added convenience and flexibility.
We also focus on making toilets more accessible by installing raised seats that reduce the effort needed to sit and stand. To ensure maneuverability, we widen doorways and use non-slip flooring materials, which significantly reduce the risk of slips and falls. Accessible sinks are installed at heights that are comfortable for wheelchair users, with space underneath to allow easy access. Additionally, we prefer lever-handled faucets over traditional knobs as they are easier to operate, particularly for those with limited hand strength.
Our goal is to create bathroom spaces that support independence and provide a safer, more comfortable environment for all users.
