Whether you need accessibility products for homes, rental properties or your business, creating inclusive, usable spaces is so important. From more convenient and comfortable residential properties to better access for visitors, customers, and employees at your workplace, making your outdoor spaces and buildings more accessible allows those with a disability equal access to places and services.
It’s estimated that 16 million people in the UK have a disability, according to the latest Department for Work and Pensions’ Family Resources Survey. That’s a significant 24% of the population with a visual, hearing, motor or cognitive disability. While disabilities come in many forms, it’s estimated that 19% of the population uses a wheelchair.
Problems Faced by Wheelchair Uses
If you use a wheelchair, you can face issues with many aspects of day-to-day life, including using public transport and accessing shops and restaurants. Steep or uneven surfaces also present a big problem when using a wheelchair.
Wheelchair-Friendly Accessibility Products for Homes & Commercial Buildings
We’re proud to supply a range of quality wheelchair, walking aid and mobility scooter-friendly products. From aluminium, grooved 6.4mm flat threshold plates and aluminium, grooved modular ramps to wheelchair shower thresholds, our accessibility products for homes and businesses are perfect for overcoming problems with differences in finished floor levels.
Modular Interlocking Ramps
The perfect solution for public areas where ramps are needed, our modular, interlocking ramps are ribbed for traction and grip and made from strong-grade aluminium. And as they’re modular, the ramps feature interlocking components and can be combined to create the length of ramp needed. Suitable for domestic and commercial use, these modular, grooved ramps can also be retrofitted into buildings.
6.4mm Flat Thresholds
Ideal for mobility scooters, wheelchairs, and walking-aid users, the aluminium, grooved 6.4mm flat thresholds are available in various widths and lengths, are easy to cut to size and are suitable for internal or external use. The low-profile thresholds feature a gradual ramp on each side, allowing easy access across from both directions.
Wheelchair Shower Thresholds
The shower door threshold is designed for use when a shower needs to be accessible to a wheelchair, keeping the water safely in the shower tray and allowing wheels to pass over without issue. Available in two heights, the wheelchair shower threshold is ideal for both domestic and public showers.
