Bathrooms and wet rooms in accessible housing
Bathrooms and wet rooms must provide a clear turning circle of 1500mm diameter and should allow for potential future direct access to the main bedroom, with ceiling provision for future track hoist installation.
Bathrooms (including wet rooms) must also be capable of achieving a turning circle of 1500mm clear diameter and it may be appropriate to allow space for potential future direct access to the main bedroom via a wall panel that could be easily removed. In such instances, it would be necessary for the ceiling (as built or through future strengthening) to accommodate the future installation of a track hoist between the bathroom/wet room and main bedroom.
