Thank you for your important question regarding accessibility. Yes, our urban benches are designed and manufactured to be fully compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) guidelines. We understand that inclusive public spaces are fundamental to building strong, welcoming communities.
Our benches meet specific ADA requirements for public seating. They feature the proper seat height between 17 to 19 inches from the ground, allowing for easy transfer from a wheelchair. We ensure adequate knee clearance (at least 27 inches high, 30 inches wide, and 19 inches deep) beneath the seating surface. The benches are also installed with clear ground space adjacent to them, providing a 30 by 48 inch area for approach and use by individuals using mobility devices.
We use firm, stable materials that support weight and facilitate transfer. Armrests are included on some models for added stability, and all finishes are smooth to prevent injury or snagging clothing. Our commitment extends beyond mere compliance; we aim to create seating that is genuinely comfortable and functional for every person.
When planning installations, we work with urban planners to ensure benches are placed on firm, stable surfaces along accessible routes. We believe that thoughtful design details—from the selection of materials to the final placement—make public spaces more usable and enjoyable for everyone. Creating environments where all community members can rest and connect is at the heart of our mission.
