Disability
   

 

Our team have experience of designing kitchens with needs of disabled people in mind.  Many of the standard kitchen units incorporate useful features such as pull out cupboard shelves, shelf baskets and carousel corner cupboards.

We incorporate within our designs height adjustable units where kitchens are shared between users of different abilities and cannot stress how important the positioning is of light switches and sockets and pull down cords.

FIXTURES AND FITTINGS

For people with visual impairment..

Colour contrasting of handles for easy location
matt finishes on doors and work surfaces that do not reflect the glare

For wheelchair users.

Pull out larders and wire baskets for easy access
cupboard doors that open wide so as not to be an obstruction

The object of designing a kitchen for disabled people is to make things easier for them whether this is by using appliances with more accessible controls or by adjusting the height of the units and worktops.

A typical kitchen that we adapt  could consist of work surfaces at a height that can be easily accessible as well as larder and cupboard units that come out easily while allowing the user enough accessibility and turning room with a wheelchair.
