Designing ADA-compliant bathrooms isn’t just about checking off code requirements. It’s about creating safe, welcoming, and thoughtfully designed spaces that serve people of all abilities—without compromising on aesthetics. Whether you’re managing the renovation of a historic inn or overseeing the construction of a new luxury multi-family residence, accessibility and design integrity should work hand in hand.
At Okahumpka Sill Company, we specialize in fabricating solid surface shower accessories that meet ADA standards while elevating the look and function of every space they’re installed in. From boutique hotels and senior living facilities to restored 19th-century buildings, our solutions are trusted by architects, general contractors, and historic preservationists alike.
ADA guidelines for commercial bathrooms are specific and essential. They’re built around safety, accessibility, and usability—ensuring independence and comfort for individuals with disabilities.
For example, transfer-type showers, a standard in ADA-compliant facilities, must meet strict criteria:
“Transfer type shower compartments must be 36 inches by 36 inches clear inside dimensions… and must have a seat that extends from the back wall to a point within 3 inches of the entry.” (ADA Section 608.2.1)
Additionally, grab bars must follow ADA Standard 609:
“Grab bars shall be installed horizontally at 33 to 36 inches above the floor… and must extend along the back and side walls.” (ADA Section 609)
Getting these dimensions right is critical, but equally important is using materials that are reliable, hygienic, and built to last—especially in high-traffic commercial spaces or properties with historical sensitivity. This is where solid surface materials truly shine.
Solid surface materials are non-porous composites made from natural minerals and high-performance resins. They're fabricated into strong, seamless, and customizable components that support both modern design and historic compatibility.
Our ADA-focused shower product line includes:
Fold-down and fixed shower seats designed for accessibility and comfort
Grab bar backers and solid surface wall panels for structural support
Low-profile thresholds and water dams under ½″ high (ADA Section 303.3)
Soap ledges, corner shelves, and caddies that are integrated for safety
Lavatory panels, caps, and sills that complement surrounding features
These components are created using precise CAD drawings and CNC machinery, ensuring tight tolerances, flawless finishes, and seamless fit—essential for both aesthetic continuity and code compliance.
All of our solid surface shower accessories are ADA certified, making them a dependable choice for accessible commercial bathrooms, historic property upgrades, and multi-unit residential builds. Every product is crafted from 100% acrylic solid surface—a non-porous, durable material known for its long-term performance in high-use environments.
We fabricate our shower seats and accessories using ½-inch thick raw sheets, 30 inches wide and up to 144 inches in length. To meet the diverse needs of our clients, we offer custom sizing, with widths ranging from as narrow as 2 inches to the full 30 inches, and lengths starting at 24 inches.
Available in classic White and Almond, with additional colors available upon request, these components are as adaptable as they are attractive. Designed for precision, functionality, and long-term resilience, our products are trusted for projects where ADA compliance and design integrity must go hand in hand.
Solid surface is an ideal material for commercial restrooms because it’s:
Non-porous – it won’t absorb moisture, soap, or bacteria
Grout-free – reducing the risk of mold, mildew, and unsightly buildup
Easy to clean – no special cleaners or sealants required
Scratch- and stain-resistant – perfect for high-traffic use
Resilient in humid or coastal environments – won’t warp or swell
Unlike wood, tile, or laminate, solid surface requires almost no upkeep—and it maintains its appearance over time, even in challenging environments.
Historic preservation doesn’t have to mean sacrificing accessibility. We routinely work with architects and contractors to create customized ADA-compliant shower accessories that match the design language of historic or luxury interiors.
Whether you’re:
Matching the look of marble in a 1920s bathhouse
Creating seamless transitions in a mid-century motel restoration
Coordinating a cohesive finish across multiple units in a senior residence
…solid surface gives you the flexibility to design for today while honoring yesterday.
We offer a wide selection of colors, edge profiles, and integrated accessory options to ensure your bathrooms look refined, not institutional.
Our ADA-compliant solid surface components are commonly installed in:
Boutique hotels and resorts
Senior living and assisted care facilities
Student housing and multi-unit residential buildings
Historic home restorations and adaptive reuse properties
Medical clinics, rehab centers, and wellness facilities
And because our products are made to order, they can be tailored to fit any footprint—whether you’re working within the constraints of an older structure or building something brand new.
We understand that in many of your projects—especially those involving historical architecture—appearance matters. That’s why we’ve invested in technology that enables us to fabricate high-performance ADA components that blend in rather than stand out.
Our process ensures:
Exact fit and finish using architectural plans or field measurements
Consistent replication across multiple bathrooms or properties
Reduced install time and simplified coordination with trades
No disruption to heritage aesthetics or historical accuracy
