Prepared by VitrA in collaboration with
Sheffield Hallam University Lab4Living.
Every year VitrA delivers thousands of products
to customers all around the world. From WC pans
to sinks, bathroom furniture to bathtubs and tiles,
VitrA offers users and professionals
every product they need.
VitrA believes that every user deserves the same
level of comfort in the bathroom. We embrace
Design for All principles in our design process to
ensure that our bathrooms achieve this by adapting
to people’s evolving needs throughout their lives.
Accessible, Safe, Functional, Respectful bathroom
design is the core of our approach.
An ageing population is driving the demand for
innovative solutions that support independence
at home for people living with long-term
conditions or disabilities. This guide aims to
raise awareness about what makes bathrooms
accessible and adaptable and to suggest inclusive
and aesthetically pleasing solutions that address
specific needs without stigmatizing anyone.
The following insights are the result of a
collaboration between VitrA and Lab4living based in
the Art and Design Research Centre at Sheffield
from a number of research projects that consider
the changing role and function of the bathroom as
populations age and their needs and desires evolve.
VitrA’s goal is to create a better bathroom experience
for everyone: now and in the future.
