Factors To Consider In Disability Remodeling Denver CO

By Jeffrey Parker


People with disability have the right to access various house rooms like other people with ease. Therefore, modern homes should have the necessary features to make them comfortable for people with multiple disabilities. In that case, most realtors and homeowners prefer to design their houses to make them disability friendly which increases the possibility of making a sale. Below are considerations to make in disability remodeling Denver CO.

Consider the needs of your target disability. You cannot make the necessary adjustments without acknowledging the kind of disability that you will consider. In most cases, homeowners make changes to accommodate the needs of someone who needs to move using a wheelchair. Such consideration allows you to set aside enough capital required to make the adjustments and look for a reliable professional.

First, make adjustments to the background. The background has a few changes that one should make. Start with broadening the main entrance to make your backyard accessible using a wheelchair. The ramp must have an elevation height of one inch. Its size must be enough to allow the movement of a standard wheelchair. Raise the flower beds and consider using hanging plants to create space in your garden.

Adjust the interior. Interior adjustments focus on doorways, the staircase and the hallway. You should also install a ramp on your main house entrance and remove any barrier on other doors. Widen the doorways to fit the size of a wheelchair as well. The staircase must have a continuous ramp installed with curbs and a railing to avoid slipping and tripping from the side.

Renovate the bathroom. There are a few adjustments to make in the bathroom such as replacing the bathtub with a shower. One must also replace the shower door to make it easier to access the shower. Consider adding grab bars with a diameter of about one and a half inch to increase the level of stability. Fix a riser on the toilets to avoid too much bending, sitting or standing when using it.

Renovate the flooring. It can be challenging to walk on rugs and thick carpet. They can easily make someone trip over or fall especially those with walkers. For that reason, one should replace those kinds of flooring with hardwood floors, ceramic tile and vinyl which can allow wheelchair movements.

Change the furniture and kitchenware. Leave about thirty inches between different furniture to provide enough movement space. Some furniture might also need raising to help some people sit on them more comfortably. One can use small wooden blocks or furniture coasters to raise the height of the furniture.

Change various elements in the kitchen. The kitchen might also need some renovation. Some of the considerations to make include using low utensil racks and positioning different appliances in strategic locations. Change the cooker with a smaller gas cooker that is lower and provide enough movement spaces as well. Besides that, you need to replace the dishwasher with one with low decks for more comfortable use.
