Yes, absolutely! We proudly offer a range of benches equipped with armrests, and a key focus of our design is ensuring that our outdoor benches with armrests fully meet and often exceed established accessibility guidelines, such as the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Standards.
You might wonder how a bench with armrests can still be accessible. The design is crucial. Our accessible models feature armrests that are integrated thoughtfully to provide support during sitting and rising, without creating a barrier. They are positioned at the correct height and are sturdy enough to offer stability. Importantly, the armrests do not extend fully to the ground, allowing for clear knee and toe space underneath, which is essential for a smooth and safe transfer from a wheelchair.
Furthermore, these benches are part of a complete accessible seating system. They are installed on firm, stable surfaces like concrete pads or asphalt, with clear ground space around them for maneuvering. The seat height, depth, and backrest are all engineered to accommodate a wide range of users comfortably and safely.
So, when you choose our outdoor benches with armrests, you are not just selecting durable and comfortable seating. You are investing in inclusive public furniture that promotes independence and usability for everyone, ensuring your space is welcoming and compliant with accessibility standards.
