Building Accessibility Upgrades: Did You Know?
As a business owner, you might already know that first impressions matter. And when it comes to your commercial property, ensuring it’s up-to-date is key to success. But not all updates are created equal. While cosmetic changes may give your building a fresh look, they don’t constantly improve the functionality or accessibility of your space. That’s why, if you’re thinking about making some changes to your property, it’s important to consider accessibility upgrades that can make your room more user-friendly for everyone, regardless of age or ability.
Types of Accessibility Upgrades
When you are planning for commercial construction, ensure the following accessibility upgrades that can help you create a more inclusive space:
1. Ramps and Curb Cuts:
If your property doesn’t have a ramp or level entry, adding one is a great way to make your space more accessible for those with mobility issues. You can also install curb cuts to make it easier for those in wheelchairs or with strollers to get onto your property.
2. Automatic Doors:
Automatic doors are a great way to improve the accessibility of your building, as they can be opened with the push of a button or with a wave of the hand – no pushing or pulling required.
3. Elevators and Lifts:
If your property has multiple levels, installing an elevator or lift can make it easier for everyone to get around. We, Astra Construction Management can help you upgrade existing elevators to make them more accessible. When you upgrade your elevator, you can add features like braille buttons and audible announcements to make them more user-friendly for those with visual impairments.
4. Washrooms:
Making your washrooms accessible is an important part of creating an inclusive space. These upgrades include grab bars, automatic flush valves, hands-free faucets, and accessible showers and toilets.
5. Signage:
Clear and accessible signage is essential for any commercial space. These include Braille signs and signage in multiple languages.
