Thank you for your important question about accessibility. Yes, our urban benches are proudly designed to be fully ADA compliant, ensuring comfortable and safe access for everyone in our community.
We understand that accessibility isn't just a legal requirement - it's a fundamental right. That's why each bench undergoes rigorous testing to meet Americans with Disabilities Act standards. Our designs feature appropriate seat heights between 17-19 inches, sufficient knee clearance of at least 27 inches high, 30 inches wide, and 19 inches deep, and proper armrest configurations that provide support while allowing easy transfer from wheelchairs.
The benches incorporate firm, stable seating surfaces with appropriate slip resistance and are positioned on stable, firm surfaces along accessible routes. We also ensure there's adequate maneuvering space around each installation site. The materials selected are durable, easy to maintain, and designed to withstand various weather conditions while remaining comfortable for extended use.
Our commitment to accessibility extends beyond mere compliance. We regularly consult with disability advocacy groups and individuals with mobility challenges to continuously improve our designs. Each bench installation includes consideration of approach paths, proximity to other amenities, and overall user experience for people of all abilities.
We believe that truly inclusive public spaces require thoughtful design at every level, and our ADA compliant benches represent just one aspect of our dedication to creating environments where everyone can rest, socialize, and enjoy our community spaces comfortably and with dignity.
