Imagine the frustration of being unable to access something you need—a restroom—because of something you can’t control, such as a disability. This is an annoyance, to say the least, but something that those with disabilities face everyday. The sad truth is that the world wasn’t always built for those who might need extra space or accommodations to access those things that others might take for granted.
But at The Splash Lab, we are doing our part to make these barriers a thing of the past. We believe the future is personal. And, we believe that all public restrooms need to be ADA-complaint, excluding noone and including everyone.
Plus, we know that technology plays a big part in making these restrooms more accessible and functional. In this article, we’ll talk about how advanced technology can transform ADA-compliant restrooms into spaces that are efficient, user-friendly, and inclusive for all.
TSL Tech-Enabled Products
As we said before, at TSL (The Splash Lab), we take accessibility and ADA compliance in restroom design super seriously. That’s why we have developed tech-enabled products designed to make restrooms more accessible and convenient for everyone. Our touch-free faucets, hand dryers, and soap dispensers are just the beginning. We also offer ADA-compliant fixtures like grab bars, all crafted from high-quality materials and built with the latest technology when applicable.
Our products are not only reliable but also customizable to meet the specific needs of different spaces. Whether it’s a corporate office, a commercial building, or a hospitality venue, our solutions fit into any environment. In 2014, we partnered with Foster + Partners to create custom restroom fixtures for Apple Park in Cupertino and we’ve been doing what we do best ever since—amazing restrooms with a foundation in ADA restroom design.
We’ve successfully integrated these products in various settings, creating restrooms that are both functional and welcoming. At TSL, we’re committed to making public spaces more accessible and easier to use for everyone.
The Splash Lab knows what it takes to create bathrooms that not only look great, but meet all ADA requirements for accessibility and to make restrooms comfortable for everyone.
We challenge conventional restroom design with our innovative products, creating carefully crafted solutions for corporate, commercial, public, hospitality, and residential spaces. By using top-quality raw materials, cutting-edge technology and automation, and modular bathroom systems, we make a positive and lasting difference for both people and the environment.
ADA-Compliant Restrooms & Technology
When you think about it, we embrace technology in almost everything we do. From the smartphones in our pockets that keep us connected to the world, to the smart home devices that control our environment with a simple voice command, technology has become an integral part of modern life. We rely on automation to streamline tasks, like scheduling appointments or managing our finances, freeing up time for what truly matters. Whether it’s through advanced health trackers that monitor our well-being or apps that provide instant access to information, technology empowers us to navigate life more efficiently and comfortably. So, who is to say that technology can’t play a role in ADA-compliant restrooms? In fact, this is a growing trend because of the many benefits.- Improved hygiene and sanitation through touch-free fixtures that reduce contact points and the spread of germs.
- A better user experience with intuitive controls, automated systems, and smart features that make restrooms easier to navigate.
- Greater efficiency and sustainability by optimizing resource use, such as water and energy, while reducing waste.
Bringing Technology and ADA-Restroom Compliance Together
Just how are we helping to bring technology and ADA compliance together? We’re so glad you asked. At The Splash Lab, we believe that innovation should make life easier for everyone. By adding advanced features to our products, we're not just following ADA rules—we're setting a new standard. Our aim is to create restrooms that are not only compliant but also simple to use, efficient, and welcoming for all. Let’s take a look at how we’re doing this with specific technology that makes ADA-compliant restrooms smarter and more accessible.Touch-Free Faucets and Dispensers
Touch-free faucets and dispensers are a big step forward in ADA-compliant restroom design. These fixtures let people access water and soap without touching anything, which is great for those with mobility issues and helps keep germs at bay. Users just need to place their hands under a sensor to activate the water or soap. Not only does this aid in accessibility, but it helps keep restrooms cleaner, too.
Smart Lighting and Occupancy Sensors
No one wants to be left in the dark, especially in a public space. Not only is it unnerving, but darkness poses a significant security risk. So, it goes without saying—though we’ll say it anyway—that lighting is important in any space, and smart lighting systems make it even better. Smart lighting means the use of motion sensors or voice commands to adjust the lighting automatically when someone enters. This is especially helpful for people with visual impairments, making sure the restroom is always well-lit for safety. Occupancy sensors also help save energy by turning off lights when the restroom is empty. And last but not least, this technology helps stop the spread of germs as patrons aren’t constantly flipping light switches on and off.Other Tech-Enabled Features
ADA-compliant restrooms and the integration of technology doesn’t just stop with touch-free faucets and dispensers and automated lighting. Smart mirrors with built-in displays can provide helpful information that businesses can control, and sinks and hand dryers that adjust in height can serve users of all abilities. Voice-command ADA restroom technology allows people to control different restroom features without touching anything. How cool is that?TSL Tech-Enabled Products
