Shower and bath in an adapted PRM bathroom

Designing a bathroom adapted for people with reduced mobility (PRMs) is a complex process that requires careful thought to ensure that these individuals can use this essential space independently and safely. Showers and baths must be specifically designed to meet these particular needs.

A well thought-out layout to ensure accessibility for PRMs

When constructing new buildings or renovating existing facilities, accessibility and mobility for PRMs are essential aspects to consider. Bathrooms, in particular, need to be designed according to strict criteria to ensure a barrier-free experience.

The bathroom is a space where crucial details must be taken into account to facilitate access for PRMs. Essential features include walk-in showers on the same level, so that people can get in and out without any obstacles. Equipment such as grab rails and shower seats must be judiciously placed to assist people with disabilities.

For a PRM bathroom that meets current standards

In France, the Disability Act of 17 May 2006 lays down strict technical rules to ensure accessibility for people with disabilities, particularly in the construction and fitting out of homes, including bathrooms. Standards for PRMs specify precise guidelines for washbasins, including :

  • Washbasins, taps, towel rails, mirrors and other accessories should be between 70 cm and 1.30 m from the floor.
  • The use of suspended basins to allow a wheelchair to fit underneath.
  • Control devices in the PRM bathroom, such as thermostats, switches and handles, located at a height of between 90 cm and 1.30 m from the floor.

In short, designing a bathroom adapted for PRMs requires a carefully planned approach and strict compliance with current standards. A well-designed bathroom can significantly improve the quality of life of PRMs by offering them greater independence and ease of use. This demonstrates our commitment to inclusion and equal access for all.
