What You Will Learn
Barrier-free bathrooms have been recognized as a top bathroom design. Some design trends start because there is a unique need in the market and then catch fire because the new solution is better in so many ways; the rise of the barrier-free shower is a perfect example of this phenomenon.
First developed to accommodate the growing interest in aging in place spurred by Baby Boomers, barrier-free showers are now considered the next level in beautiful, luxurious interiors. This course will take a closer look at the benefits that this aging-friendly and now, trending, solution can bring to a bathroom, and a few important best practices that will help avoid some of the challenges that can arise during construction.
During this session, you will:
- Learn to describe the connection between barrier-free showers and the design objectives of aging in place or living in place.
- Understand how barrier-free shower spaces comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) design standards.
- Identify the basic elements and considerations for incorporating this more accessible barrier-free shower into a new construction or renovation project.
