Accessible Baths
Accessible baths, also called roll-in, walk-in, or barrier-free showers, are safe and comfortable bathing options for all family members. Adaptable Home installs the only truly zero-step entry shower, meaning the shower virtually has no hump, curb, or incline to enter.
Wet Rooms
Wet rooms are fully tiled walk-in shower rooms that feel like spacious, spa-like luxury bathrooms. All water collects into one central drain, so there is no need for a tub or shower enclosure. Wet rooms can be used as your main bathroom, as an extra bath, or as a master bath option. A wall-hung toilet and sink truly makes a wet room barrier-free and easy to clean.
Wide Doors
Adaptable Home offers several options for extra-wide doors that make it easy to maneuver a wheelchair or walker anywhere in the house.
-
Standard Swing Doors: We can use expandable door hinges to add up to 2 inches of clearance to most doors or install wider door frames to create a larger opening.
-
Pocket Doors: Pocket doors are clever sliding doors that disappear inside the wall when not in use, freeing up wall and floor space to make transitions from room to room barrier-free. They work well for dining rooms, master bathrooms, closets, kitchens, or anywhere an access door is needed.
-
Wall Mounted Sliding Door/ Barn Door: A wall-mounted sliding door or barn-style door is used when it is structurally impossible to install a pocket door. A wall-mounted sliding door can be installed on a load-bearing wall without any structural considerations. Many contemporary new home constructions are using sliding doors in their décor, and Adaptable Home can offer many stylish design options.
