All washroom cubicles and their components can be supplied to comply with the latest Building Regulations Part M & Disability Discrimination Act (DDA)*

Ambulant Disabled

At least one cubicle per separate sex washroom area must be of ‘ambulant disabled’ configuration. If there is only one cubicle, then this must be of ambulant type. In addition to the inclusive furniture provided, horizontal grab rails and inner pull handles must be incorporated within the cubicle and are available from our washroom accessories range

Access Required

Normal WC compartments with inward opening doors are required to have a minimum manoeuvring space. This is described as a 450mm diameter circle which is to be maintained between the swing of the door, the WC pan and the side wall of the compartment. To achieve the minimum 450mm manoeuvring space an overall cubicle depth of 1520mm is recommended.

Where room layout does not permit this and outward opening doors are not an option we can usually adjust pilaster and door sizes to accommodate and can provide setting out information on receipt of full WC pan information and room dimensions.

Enlarged Cubicles

If there are more than 3 cubicles in a single sex washroom area, then in addition to the ‘ambulant’ cubicle, an ‘enlarged’ cubicle must also be provided.

Further information on regulations is available in our DDA brochure, or you can call us for guidance on
your project.
