Ensuring Accessibility: The Importance of ADA Compliant Ramp Widths

At FoamWorks, we understand that creating an accessible environment is crucial for everyone, especially for those with mobility challenges. One of the key factors in ensuring accessibility in buildings is the installation of ramps that meet ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) standards, particularly when it comes to ramp width.

Why Ramp Width Matters

The width of a ramp is more than just a measurement—it’s about safety, independence, and accessibility. ADA guidelines specify that ramps must have a minimum width of 36 inches. This width ensures that someone using a wheelchair can move up and down the ramp easily without any risk of hitting the handrails or sides, which can be a common issue with narrower ramps.

The FoamWorks Approach

At FoamWorks, we specialize in not just meeting but exceeding ADA standards to ensure that every ramp we install offers maximum safety and accessibility. We believe that everyone deserves to access every area of a building without difficulty, and our expert team in Garland, TX, is committed to making that a reality.

Benefits of ADA Compliant Ramps

1. Safety: Wider ramps reduce the risk of accidents and injuries.
2. Accessibility: Compliant ramps make buildings accessible to more people, ensuring that everyone, regardless of their mobility, can enter and exit without barriers.
3. Legal Compliance: Adhering to ADA standards helps building owners avoid legal issues and penalties.
