CA TITLE 24

Understanding Title 24 of the California Code of Regulations

CA Title 24 was first launched in 1978 to reduce energy consumption and minimize waste within the commercial, industrial, and real estate construction sectors. Homes, industrial and commercial buildings, condominiums, and other dwellings had to be designed with efficiency in mind. Part of that requirement is for manufacturers, installers, and contractors to provide material traceability.

A common mistake among fiberglass shower manufacturers is omitting which products are CA Title 24-compliant. As such, many developers and architects must research multiple CA Title 24 codes and regulations to ensure compliance with new or existing projects.

EverFab keeps things straightforward. We clearly labels all products, walk-in showers, and shower units that are California Title 24-compliant.

All of our fully compliant models also share the following value-added features:

EverFab’s signature bottom plate
Anti-slip floor design
Built-in reinforcement with a 30-year limited warranty

Essential Facts on CA Title 24-Compliant Showers

Title 24 of the California Code of Regulations outlines several criteria to ensure that showers are safe, ergonomic, and easily accessible for seniors. These regulations specify maximum slope and curb, minimum interior dimensions, and outline critical features like fold-down seats, soap dishes, single-lever low-flow mixing valves, and grab bars.

These CA-Title 24 compliance guidelines cover the entire finished, assembled, and installed shower as well as its individual pieces. EverFab clearly distinguishes all its CA-Title 24-compliant showers, which can be installed right on a bathroom’s subfloor, abolishing the need for recessed flooring. EverFab showers meet all the CA-Title 24 requirements without sacrificing usability, functionality, or safety.

Fines for non-compliance with FHA, ADA, and CA Title-24 codes and guidelines are steep. These fines can erode profit on new or existing projects and create endless delays and rescheduling, ultimately damaging your reputation in the eyes of your customers, competitors, and community.

A single violation of CA Title-24 guidelines includes fines of up to $5,000. These fines can be applied multiple times for the same installation or contract. Repeated violations for non-compliance with ADA guidelines can go up to $150,000 or more, while repeated violations of FHA codes and regulations can be higher than $27,000 for each incident.

These costs pale in comparison to the high costs of litigation. California is a state that strictly enforces ADA guidelines due to the estimated eight million people in California with some form of disability.
