Combining Design and Function in Today’s ADA Compliant Bathroom

Offered and presented by Schluter Systems L.P.

Mandated requirements for ADA compliancy and demand from an aging population are creating a growing need for barrier-free bathrooms. Today’s ADA compliant bathroom no longer has to be utilitarian or “institutional” in its design. Design options are enhanced through the use of tile and innovative construction methods. The result is beautiful bathrooms that also adhere to ADA standards for accessible design.

Learning Objectives
– How barrier-free environments can be customized to include various design elements while remaining ADA compliant.
– Why bonded waterproofing technology lends itself to the construction requirements of barrier-free design.
– The principle of uncoupling, its functions, and history.
– The evolution of tile setting techniques along with the benefits and limitations of each stage of development.
