Choosing the Product
Think through how the person using the bathroom will approach the fitting, reach it and move around it. Consider where support or easier access is needed during everyday use, and compare the dimensions and controls of the individual products. Check whether nearby fittings would interfere with the intended route through the room.
Space & Access
Measure the clear space around the fitting, including the path of doors and nearby furniture. Look at the height, reach and orientation from the position in which the fitting will be used. Check any product-specific layout requirements with your installer. Compare the installation drawings for the products on your shortlist.
Installation
Confirm the mounting instructions, supplied fixings and suitability for the intended wall or floor. Leave room to clean and service the fitting after installation. Where the model specifies an installation position or other limits, use those details when planning. Check how the finished fitting will be reached for cleaning and maintenance.
