There are two main criteria that you will want to keep in mind when doing a handicapped bathroom remodel . The first is that you need to provide safety and the second is that you need to make sure that it is usable. Handicapped and elderly individuals may possibly be using a wheelchair or a walker. Therefore there has to be allowable room to maneuver either one without creating a hazard. The first thing that you will require when designing such a bathroom is adequate floor space .
