New housing: Italian-style showers required in 2021
Publié le null - Directorate for Legal and Administrative Information (Prime Minister)
In 2021, the showers settled in the new units will have to be Italian-style. Published on Official Journal from 17 september 2020, this measure aims to make the bathrooms in these units more accessible to persons with reduced mobility. These single-story showers are easier to use every day for the elderly and people with disabilities.
The accommodation units concerned are:
- from 1er January 2021: ground floor apartments and detached houses for subdivision or rental;
- from 1er july 2021: apartments served by an elevator.
It is still possible to settle a bathtub. In this case, its subsequent replacement by this type of shower must be possible without modifying the volume of the bathroom.
Where a dwelling has several bathrooms, at least one of them must be fitted with an accessible shower area.
FYI
The year 2021 will thus see the first construction of the dwellings provided for by the ELAN (Housing, Development and Digital Development) Act with the obligation to build modular and reversible bathrooms. Passed in 2018, the ELAN Act set a rate of 20% dwellings in new multi-family dwellings accessible to the disabled. The others must be , subject to works, in the event of loss of autonomy of the inhabitant.
