The Northwest West Hills above Portland.
|
A beloved family member has grown to need the use of wheelchair access in and out of his home.
|
The existing sill/threshold assembly has proven inaccessible by any reasonable measure.
|
So the old tarnished brass interlocking threshold is removed and plans are laid for installation of a ramp.
|
A ramp that will meet the ADA specifications for rate of incline while also taking into consideration the need to…
|
…provide something that will replace the old brass interlocking threshold in terms of providing a weather…
|
…tight seal for the bottom of the door when it is in the closed position. Rest assured, the various ramp…
|
…components are anchored to the stone surfaces, while all the edges are carefully sealed and weatherproofed.
|
End-caps are designed and installed.
|
And then it’s time for a little product testing. Also, if interested, see Ramp #2 under the same project #.
