Accessible Innovations That Can Transform Your Home from Prison to Paradise!
Perhaps a little dramatic for most of us but listen to homeowners who cannot use their entire home because of inaccessability. Hallways that are too narrow. Shelves that are too high. Oven doors that can't be managed. Sinks that can't be approached. For someone who truly needs accessibility in an inaccessible world, home can be a prison.Thankfully, the accessible home movement that began in Europe is catching on in America! On this page (and virtually every page in the accessibility section of our website), you will find recent innovations in accessibility that are changing the way people live and giving new hope for those needing accessibility.
Below are a few examples of the special accessible features we can design and build for your new accessible home or remodel. Scroll to the bottom of this page for links to pictures of a few of our accessible homes as well as custom homes and log homes!
Accessible Cooktop (Closed)
Can't tell it's accessible!? That is the way we designed it to look! Plus, no storage space is lost in converting this area to accessible!
Rise Fall Sink
Where two occupants require differing sink heights for comfort and ease-of-use, the Rise-Fall Sink is the answer! With convenient electronic switches mounted conveniently to the left or right of the sink, anyone can quickly and easily set the sink to their more convenient height!
Beauty and Simplicity!
Virtually any combination of material and design style can be used effortlessly in an accessible bath!
The European Wet Room
The latest in accessibility, this stylish concept is making Americans take notice of the elegance of the accessible bath.
Shower Controls Within Easy Reach
Easily adjust for heat and spray without straining or putting yourself in danger of slipping!
The Lifetime Vanity
The invention that inspired the accessible cooktop, Shannon Melvin's Lifetime Vanity has sold across the nation and has inspired homeowners with its simplicity and practicality. Use it as an accessible vanity, or as a traditional vanity in a matter of seconds!
Lifetime Vanity: Built Your Way!
We have built the Lifetime Vanity in a host of configurations, wood species, styles and finishes, and we are ready to build one for you!
Zero Threshold for Easy Entry
A central part of accessibility is to consider every part of the home that contains any kind of barrier, and that includes something as small as a door threshold. For many, even the slightest bump can cause jarring pain, so an entry door with an adjustable threshold is a welcome addition! See "Adjustable Door Sweep", next photo.
Adjustable Door Sweep
New technology has enabled homeowners to adjust their entry door thresholds without causing a draft below the door threshold. With the adjustable door sweep, the door automatically positions the sweep to the ideal height. Easy. Simple. Brilliant!
Accessible Cabinetry
Along with a host of drawer and storage innovations, Wood Wright uses fully opening 170 degree door hinges for full access to your stored items!
