Products that are designed for all.
Creating an accessible bathroom is essential to ensure safety, comfort, and independence for everyone, including people with reduced mobility, older adults, and young children. An inclusive bathroom design incorporates a variety of accessible and ergonomic products, as well as thoughtful layouts, to accommodate different needs and improve the quality of life for all users. In addition, an accessible bathroom can be achieved seamlessly through the use of smart technology, which help to alleviate everyday concerns and create a more relaxed user experience.
The toilet is often the focal point of any bathroom, and there are more and more options available to suit different needs. For people with functional limitations or older adults, a raised toilet seat can be a game changer. These seats reduce the distance between sitting and standing, minimising strain on the knees and back. The Access collection is designed with a curved shape that allows wheelchair access right up to the toilet. Additionally, the installation of grab bars, also available in the Access collection, around the toilet provides extra support and stability, making transfers safer and easier. The Gap collection has a taller design that also allows easier access for people who prefer or need less of a distance for sitting.

Incorporating smart technology into the bathroom can further enhance accessibility.
Smart toilets including In Wash® Ona, In-Wash® Inspira and In-Wash® Insignia offer enhanced features with the Roca Connect app, allowing users to control lighting, flushing systems and cleaning options, providing an added layer of comfort, hygiene and safety for users with different needs. This seamless technology enhances the accessible bathroom experience by assisting in various daily tasks and providing simple reminders to keep us informed and confident.
An accessible basin is designed with space underneath to accommodate a wheelchair or stool, making it suitable for people with reduced mobility and those who need the extra space for other personal needs. Installing lever-style faucets can make turning the water on and off easier for those with hand strength or dexterity concerns. The Access collection offers a range of basin models that not only meet these needs, but also offer elegant design options including rounded or square formats, that add a touch of elegance to the bathroom space as well.

There are many versatile options when it comes to designing an accessible shower to meet a wide range of needs. It is important to have a space that allows for wheelchair access or that eliminates the need to step over a high threshold that can be a tripping hazard. Consider flush-to-the-floor shower trays from the Terran-N or Cratos collections, which also offer a variety of colours and welcoming textures as well as important anti-slip properties. In addition, shower enclosures without profiles offer a simple solution for an accessible space that works well with these shower trays.
The addition of a built-in shower seat or grab bars provides a safe and comfortable option for those who have difficulty standing for long periods of time, or who simply prefer having the added safety benefits. The anti-bacterial grab bars in the Access collection are designed to be placed where the user needs them. Their modern design fits well with any bathroom environment - another example of good design and accessibility coming together. The elegant and ergonomic thermostatic shower mixer is designed with inclusivity and accessibility in mind. By maintaining a static temperature that is easy to control, it provides peace of mind and added relaxation in the shower.

A hand-held shower head with an adjustable height is another essential feature. It allows the user to control the water flow while sitting or standing, according to their specific needs. The Sensum or Stella collections can be installed at a lower height and offer lightweight, multi-function shower heads that are easy to grip and activate.
The added benefits of accessories can make all the difference to an inclusive, user-friendly bathroom. Well-placed hooks, grab bars or mirrors can enhance the space through their versatile design. Installing Access grab bars around the toilet, shower or basin, provides extra support and stability, making transfers safer and easier. Hooks, which can be installed lower or higher depending on individual needs, can make it easier to grab a towel. The tilted mirror in the Access collection is another example of intuitive design. By simply adjusting the direction or tilt of the mirror, the experience of applying makeup or carrying out daily grooming becomes that much more feasible.

By focusing on safety, comfort, and functionality, it is possible to create a bathroom that not only meets the needs of people with reduced mobility or older adults but also ensures that young children can use the space safely and independently. Investing in accessible bathroom features is a step towards a more inclusive and accommodating home environment for everyone.
