July 31, 2009, Newsletter Issue #177: Paper Towels: Know The Right Height

Tip of the Week



A paper towel dispenser is an important handicap bathroom fixture, either by itself or as an accompaniment to an automatic dryer.

This height allows people in wheelchairs to access the towels by reaching forward or to the side.
