This caught me off guard when we renovated our most recent space too, I think since our past buildings were mixed-use and this was our first purely commercial building.
The ADA laws are around the counter height, not the dishwasher itself. But because the ADA counter height is a bit lower than the "normal" residential height, regular dishwashers just won't fit. I had done a lot of research on quiet + efficient dishwashers for my home a few years ago and found a Bosch series that I really liked...and it turns out they have an ADA compatible version. You can find the model/specs here: *https://www.ajmadison.com/cgi-bin/ajmadison/SGE68U55UC.html <https://www.ajmadison.com/cgi-bin/ajmadison/SGE68U55UC.html>* <https://www.ajmadison.com/cgi-bin/ajmadison/SGE68U55UC.html>The selection of ADA height washers is smaller, but again the internals aren't really any different. Just the height so they can fit under the counter. -Alex ------------------ *The #1 mistake in community building is doing it by yourself.* Better Coworkers: http://indyhall.org Weekly Coworking Tips: http://coworkingweekly.com My Audiobook: https://theindyhallway.com/ten On Mon, Jun 11, 2018 at 10:48 AM VillageOne Space <[email protected]> wrote: > My building don't have issue about what kind of dishwasher I am going to > use, but I am just wondering are there any regulatory department from the > government would check on us and be very specific about it.
