1. Introducción.
Living in a building should mean enjoying facilities that improve your quality of life, providing comfort and accessibility for all neighbours, regardless of their physical ability. The importance of having a properly prepared access lies not only in complying with the relevant regulations, but also in creating an inclusive environment that benefits all residents.
At General Elevadores, we tell you about 4 building accessibility solutions that are essential to achieving optimal accessibility and mobility in your community.
2. Lifts.
The installation of a lift is the cornerstone of accessibility. Not only does it facilitate mobility for the elderly and those with disabilities, but it also improves the quality of life for all residents, for example, when bringing up shopping, a baby’s pushchair, moving house... Just as important as installing a suitable lift for your building is having a maintenance contract that ensures peace of mind that your lift is always in perfect condition.
3. Ramps
Inclusion starts at the main entrance. Placing ramps at the entrance is not only aesthetically pleasing, but also removes architectural barriers for people with wheelchairs, pushchairs and other mobility devices. An accessible entrance is the key to making everyone feel welcome.
4. Platform lifts.
If the entrance of your building has access steps before reaching the lift, and there is not enough space to install a ramp, you can opt for other accessibility solutions such as platform lifts, as they allow people with wheelchairs to move around safely and independently.
5. Stair lifts.
As well as being a similar solution to platforms at entrances, they can also be installed in low rise buildings where the installation of a lift may not be feasible, to assist access from one floor to another. A versatile and easy to install option that makes all the difference.
If any of these 4 building accessibility solutions are what you need, you can contact our team and we will give you personalised advice.
