Following
Doc M Regulations
It is important to know that Compliance with Doc M or universal design regulations not only requires precisely designed fittings and components as part of a System solution but also pre-determined room layouts which will offer users comfort to use depending on the location and type of facility in question.
Moreover, this universal solution not only complies with the regulation by meeting and exceeding the needs of everyone because of the flexibility to adapt and remove the products but at the same time will also provide a financial opportunity to maximize occupancy.
The following provides guidance on what is required when designing spaces for hospitality facilities:
