As a homeowner future-proofing your house or as a business owner welcoming the public, what would you think is important to consider regarding wheelchair use?

WHY MAKE YOUR HOUSE OR BUSINESS ACCESSIBLE?

Did you know that over one billion people live with a disability (World Health Organization source)? That represents 15% of the world’s population!

The Bill of Human Rights clearly includes accessibility as an elemental right. Therefore, for anyone living with a disability, comfortable and full access to homes, offices, activities, etc should be as easy as possible.
Hence, when will you make the first step in ensuring your house or business is easily accessible to wheelchairs?

HOW TO MAKE YOUR ENTRANCE EASY TO ACCESS TO WHEELCHAIRS?

The front access should be clearly indicated, leveled, without obstacles. If an access ramp is required, the gradient should not be more than 1:12 (or 8,33%).
The walkway and doorway should be wide enough for wheelchairs, at least 900 mm wide.
Whenever feasible, motion sensors on auto sliding doors with motion sensors or powered single-hinged doors will ease access for wheelchairs and walkers’ users.

HOW TO ENABLE ACCESS FOR WHEELCHAIRS TO EVERY FLOOR?

Living, sleeping, or office areas are often located on different floors depending on whether you are a homeowner or business operator.
Providing easy access to each floor for people using wheelchairs, walkers, crutches, or canes, or parents with kids in strollers can become a real obstacle course.

Have you ever thought about installing an accessibility lift?
It’s one of the best solutions and available in many different models, such as platform lifts and cabin lifts.

Additionally, a home lift will provide you with greater peace of mind to everyone thanks to its high standards of safety, while increasing general comfort and enjoying growing old in your cherished home or beloved workplace

How big does your wheelchair lift need to be?

Two questions need to be answered at the same time here.  First, how much space do you have to install the lift? Good thing is that our lifts can have a small footprint and even fit in the middle of a staircase. Second, what is the size of the wheelchair, and is a helper required? These answers will enable you to provide you with a better proposal for the perfect wheelchair lift.

Where should the wheelchair lift doors be facing?

With Cibes Lift, the doors do not have to be on the same side on each floor. This can be very convenient depending on the home or office configuration. For example, you may enter from one side on the first floor and exit straight on the other side at the second floor which makes it very convenient with a wheelchair.
