If you have mobility issues, installing disabled steps around your house will enable you to keep enjoying your home. Many properties have steps or staircases both inside and outside but we barely notice them until we can’t use them. Whether you have permanent mobility issues or expect them to improve with time, installing steps is a quicker, cheaper and easier solution to making structural changes to your house. They can be fitted and removed with no damage being caused. Here are some places they may be useful in your home.
Disabled steps by the front door
Many houses have stairs outside, but even one small step can be a problem if you have mobility issues. Modular disabled steps can be installed and adjusted to each specific client’s needs. Handrails are also included to ensure safety and confidence when climbing the stairs.
Disabled steps by the back door
There’s no need to stop enjoying your garden if you have mobility issues because fitting half steps will ensure you still have access to the great outdoors whenever you want it. A modular system can be fitted together in a way that will be suitable to most locations. However big or small the distance to your garden, you’ll be able to access your outdoor space.
Make your garden more accessible
Many gardens have uneven ground or are sloping and will have steps or ledges in them. Half steps can help to make your journey around your garden smoother and easier, without the need for climbing difficult inclines. Installing sturdy and secure steps with grab rails will ensure you can get around your garden with confidence.
Small indoor staircases
Half steps aren’t suitable for your main staircase, but are helpful if you have two or three steps to navigate. An example of this might be down to a kitchen or up to a bathroom. Older houses often have odd features like this, which are charming to look at but can prove tricky if you have mobility issues. Installing half steps and grab rails will make them manageable once again.
Single steps around the home
Houses that are built over sloping ground or had an extension done in the past may have single steps to help reach different rooms. These may not seem like much of a difficulty, but if you have mobility issues they can turn popping into the kitchen to switch on the kettle from an easy job to a difficult task. Installing a half step in these places will mean you can carry on enjoying your home without any fuss.
