Why ADA Compliance Matters in Home Renovations
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) sets standards for accessible home design, ensuring that kitchens and bathrooms are safe, functional, and inclusive for individuals with mobility limitations. According to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), accessible housing increases property value and long-term usability.
Key ADA Guidelines for Kitchen & Bathroom Remodeling
✔️ Accessible Sink & Counter Heights – The ADA requires kitchen counters to be no higher than 34 inches for wheelchair accessibility.
✔️ Barrier-Free Showers & Grab Bars – The CDC recommends roll-in showers and reinforced grab bars to prevent falls.
✔️ Wide Doorways & Smart Storage – HUD advises a minimum 36-inch-wide doorway and easy-access storage solutions.
