How Does the Pemko 271 Threshold Enhance Wheelchair Accessibility?

The 1710 Series Commercial Flat Saddle Threshold is expertly designed to support wheelchair accessibility. Here's how:

• Low Profile: Standing at just 1/4 inch in height, this threshold offers a gentle slope that eases the transition between different floor surfaces. This ensures that wheelchairs can glide across without obstruction.
• Wide Surface: With a generous width of 5 inches, it provides ample space for wheels to gain traction. This is crucial for maintaining stability and preventing tipping or catching on the edge.
• Durability: Engineered from tough materials, it's built to withstand heavy traffic and weight, providing long-lasting support in high-use areas.
• ADA Compliance: Meets the standards set by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), guaranteeing that it facilitates barrier-free access in line with legal requirements.

By incorporating these thoughtful design elements, the 271 Threshold plays a vital role in creating accessible environments.
