Accessible Design
Widening doorways and lowering countertops can improve accessibility in the home. To widen doorways, you can remove the door and frame and install a wider frame and door. To lower countertops, you can install adjustable-height countertops or remove the existing countertop and install a new one at a lower height. Alternatively, you can install pull-out cutting boards or trays that can be pulled out to a comfortable height. It’s important to ensure that there is enough knee and toe clearance under the countertops for someone using a wheelchair or other mobility device.
