What is the Standard Toilet Paper Holder Height?

Homeowners or professional companies install toilet paper holders in different positions based on the requirements. The question is: what is the toilet paper holder height? Experts say that the standard toilet paper holder has a height of 26 inches or 66 centimeters above the floor. You should  install the paper holder next to the toilet. Some people also install the holder in front of the toilet.

However, the holder must be no more than 10 inches away from the toilet. Although it is crucial to install the holder 26 inches above the floor, the National Kitchen and Bath Association (NKBA) recommends installing it at the height of 18 inches above the floor, especially if you have people with disabilities at home.

If you are carrying out the process as a DIY project, make sure the holder’s height is no longer than 48 inches for your disabled loved one. A standard or full bathroom is 36 x 40 square feet, requiring a holder size of 4.5-5 inches in length and 4.5-5 inches in diameter.

Moreover, install the paper holder on the wall 8-12 inches from the toilet bowl. If you have children, make sure the height is no more than 8 inches, allowing them to access the holder effortlessly. The maximum length for tall people is 12 inches from the toilet bowl.

Bear in mind that the height remains the same (26 inches) for children and adults, except for people with disabilities.
