Chapter 6: Plumbing Elements and Facilities Toilet Rooms
Can accessible mirrors be located above lavatories?
Accessible mirrors can be located above lavatories or countertops if the bottom of the
reflecting surface is 40” max. above the finish floor (§603.3). The bottom of the reflecting
surface of mirrors not located above lavatories or countertops must be 35” max. above the
finish floor.
If a toilet room has a full-length mirror and a mirror above a countertop or lavatory, must both
types comply?
No. The Standards require only one mirror in a toilet room to comply. If mirrors are provided
above lavatories or counters and at other locations in a toilet room, it is advisable, but not
required, that one of each type comply.
