Why Coat hooks in Restrooms?
Coat hooks are essential for keeping items off the floor but need to be placed at heights suitable for their user. Invariably this means the provision of hooks at different heights preferably 1050-1500mm above the FFL.
Coat hooks enhances the security of personal belongings, particularly in Public restrooms because it allow for a safe hanging of personal belongings within the room rather than leaving them on the lobbying areas.
Coat hooks should contrast in colour with the background and not be placed to project into the room in a way that can present a hazard.
Design consideration:
1. Provide coat hooks in all toilet cubicles and in accessible toilets, bathrooms, shower rooms, and changing rooms.
2. 3. Ensure coat hooks are installed at heights suitable for users.
Ensure coat hooks are a contrasting colour to the background and not projecting into the room in a way that creates a hazard.
