They will be the one who will work on the comfort of the people who are living in the house, whether they are the ones with the disability or not.
There are contractors nowadays who also provide you with options on what you will have to choose for your structure. If the contractor offers you this, then you have to make sure to know for yourself what details come together with the designs. Here are the details that you need to have knowledge about.
First, there is the length. This detail must be decided beforehand together with the contractor to ensure that the length is suitable for the person with disability who will be using it. Even in public settings, the length of the incline is an important detail that public contractors have to pay attention to for the sake of the public.
The location is next. It is only proper to decide where this is to be installed. Most of the time, people will say that it is logical to install this in front of the external door or the front door. However, that is not aesthetically pleasing. It is more tedious and complicated to have this on the front door too so you better search for another option.
Material. It is definitely natural for you to find a material that you can use for the making of this structure. You have the option of using wood or metal. Both are good ideas but it is highly recommended to use the wooden one. After all, the wood is a proven option to be more durable as well as cost-effective.
The landings should also be considered. A ramp does not just have to incline up. It is better to have short areas where a flat remains. This is oftentimes considered to be a resting place, usually called a landing. Better have at least two landings for the sake of the users. It offers a feeling of stability too.
Railing. This detail is very important, especially if the one who is using this structure does not use a power wheelchair. Manual wheelchairs usually need the individual riding in them to work themselves up the incline. To help them get the power to pull themselves up, then the railing is a necessary detail.
The door entry comes next. This is definitely one of the things to pay attention to. Remember to set an incline into the door. Have a gently sloping ramp there. Also, do not forget to install a handrail so that you can keep the person from rolling off the platform at the door.
Do not forget to obtain a permit. In fact, this is the first thing you have to prioritize. Do not allow a contractor to work for you if he or she says that it is okay to build the ramp even without it. It is necessary to secure the permit and the one to secure this is the contractor.
