Ep 10. Open and Accessible

In Bath Crashers season 2 episode 10, titled "Open and Accessible," host and contractor Matt Muenster takes on a bathroom renovation project for a couple who are in need of more accessible amenities. The couple, who have an adult son with limited mobility, request a larger shower with wheelchair access and safety features, as well as a new vanity and toilet that will be easier for their son to use.

Muenster begins by demolishing the outdated bathroom and creating a more open floor plan. He installs wider doors and removes the bathtub to make room for a larger walk-in shower. The shower features a zero-entry threshold, grab bars, and a handheld showerhead for added accessibility.

Next, Muenster installs a new dual-flush toilet that is at a comfortable height for the couple's son. He also installs a new vanity with a large mirror and ample storage space. The vanity has a lower countertop that is specifically designed for wheelchair access.

To add additional safety features and convenience, Muenster installs a new ventilation fan with a humidity sensor and a Bluetooth speaker. The couple can now listen to music or take phone calls while using the bathroom.

To finish the project, Muenster installs new lighting fixtures and accessories, including towel bars and robe hooks. He also adds a new tile floor that is slip-resistant and easy to clean.

Throughout the episode, Muenster emphasizes the importance of designing for accessibility and safety. He discusses the various types of grab bars and shower seats that are available, as well as the importance of good lighting and non-slip flooring.

Overall, "Open and Accessible" is a heartwarming episode of Bath Crashers that showcases the importance of creating a bathroom that meets the specific needs of the homeowners. Muenster's expertise and attention to detail result in a beautiful and functional bathroom that will serve the family well for years to come.
