Thank you for your important question about accessibility. Yes, our urban benches are designed and manufactured to be fully compliant with local accessibility standards, including the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) guidelines where applicable.
We understand that inclusive public spaces are fundamental to community well-being. Our benches adhere to critical specifications: seat heights between 17 to 19 inches from the ground, sufficient clear ground space for wheelchair approach and transfer (at least 30 by 48 inches), and stable, firm installation on level surfaces. Armrests are included on some models to aid in sitting and standing, and we ensure there are no sharp edges or pinching hazards.
For projects in specific municipalities, we conduct thorough reviews of local codes that may exceed federal requirements, such as mandated back support or specific materials. Our commitment is to provide public seating that doesn't just meet the legal standards but genuinely welcomes everyone, from seniors and individuals with mobility devices to parents with strollers. We believe accessible design is simply good design, creating benches that serve the entire community safely and comfortably.
