Accessible Entrances & Ramps
Create safe, dignified entry to your home with professionally designed ramps and entrance modifications.
Overview
Accessible entrances eliminate barriers and provide independent access to your home. Properly designed ramps and level entries comply with Australian Standards while complementing your home's appearance.
Common Modifications
Permanent Ramps
Concrete or timber ramps built to Australian Standards (AS 1428.1). Maximum gradient 1:14, with handrails and landings as required.
Modular Ramps
Aluminum or steel systems that can be reconfigured or relocated. Ideal for rental properties or temporary needs. Quick installation, no concrete required.
Automatic Doors
Push-button or motion-activated entry doors. Essential for power wheelchair users and people with limited upper body strength.
Level Thresholds
Remove or reduce door thresholds to eliminate tripping hazards and wheel obstructions. Weather sealing maintains protection.
Covered Access
Roof or awning protection over ramps and entry areas. Prevents rain, sun exposure, and reduces slip hazards.
Path Widening
Widen pathways to minimum 1200mm for wheelchair access. Non-slip surfaces and adequate drainage.
Key Considerations
- Available space for ramp length
- Council approval requirements
- Gradient compliance (1:14 maximum)
- Handrail requirements
- Landing sizes and positions
- Weather protection needs
