The bathroom is one of the most accident-prone rooms in the house. For the elderly, those with reduced mobility, or those with temporary disabilities, it is essential to create a safe, ergonomic, and easily accessible space. In Montreal, renovation projects are increasingly taking these universal accessibility issues into account.



A walk-in shower: the most practical solution


The walk-in shower (or shower without a threshold) is the most recommended configuration. It allows direct, obstacle-free access , with or without a wheelchair, and facilitates the passage of caregivers or family members if necessary.


Combined with a non-slip floor and a well-designed drainage slope, it combines safety and modernity .


Ergonomic and functional furniture


Wall-hung or height-adjustable vanities make it easier to use while seated. Sinks without a vanity underneath allow wheelchair access . Lever-operated or sensor-operated faucets reduce awkward movements.


Every detail counts to make everyday actions easier.


A seat in the shower or bathtub


Providing a built-in bench or a retractable seat in the shower allows you to wash safely, even if you're tired or lose your balance. There are also removable solutions that are easy to install without major work.


Clear and safe lighting


A well-lit bathroom reduces the risk of falls. It is important to install:

  • A homogeneous main light

  • Direct lighting at mirror level

  • Night lighting or ground markings for night travel
