Re: A learning experience: My new Kitchen @Keet. Rules and regs will be too dependent on location, and the buildings purpose. For example, in the UK if a new build home wants to be certified as suitable for disabled use there are a whole raft of criteria to meet. Here in UK we have a whole section of the planning regs just for that: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/ac...dings-approved-document-m I don't think a non-certified bathroom must have a particular direction, but it is considered better to open outward to prevent someone (usually older people) slipping and falling in front of the door and blocking emergency help. This is more a consideration in countries like the UK where typical bathrooms are quite compact. I don't think there is anything other than convention for other doors. The only exception would be if some other regulation made one direction impossible. i.e. a door cannot swing into the area of an stairway landing area. |
