ASK THE PLUMBER: A 'universal design' in bathroom remodeling  By
Ed Del Grande Published:  Scripps Howard News Service     --
Nick, Nevada  A: There is a new popular trend on the remodeling
scene, and it's called "universal design" -- UD, for short.
Basically, UD bathrooms allow people of all ages to use the
space comfortably. A UD remodeling job now may keep you from
needing a bathroom update later.  Here are three popular UD
concepts:  1. Use a "comfort-height" toilet. Comfort-height
toilets are higher than standard toilets and can accommodate
users of all ages.   3. Side-by-side double sinks and
countertops at two heights -- high and low -- can accommodate
people of different heights.    Want to leave your comments?
