Take a look at your exterior and interior doors, and the windows in your home. Then ask yourself this question: If my loved ones or I were injured, or, if due to aging our mobility was limited, would we have easy access to our home and all of the rooms inside?   

Those without mobility issues don't give much thought to windows unless it's time to clean them, but people in wheelchairs or those who utilize walkers or canes will find that windows can create multiple problems. Hard-to-reach locks pose safety risks, while windows that stick can make opening and closing the window unsafe, if not impossible altogether.

If you rely on a walking aid or are in a wheelchair, or if you have a relative or close friend who has a disability, then making your home fully accessible is an important priority. This might involve some big changes (e.g. moving to a property where stairs are not an issue or fitting a stair lift, installing ramps indoors and out, and having specialist equipment fitted in the bathroom). Improving your home's accessibility is also about thinking beyond the obvious challenges to everyday living issues - how easy is it to operate the windows from a wheel-chair, for example, or get into the garden? These are small details that, if adapted properly, can make day-to-day life run smoothly, and if overlooked, can make it hugely difficult.

Accessible Design Consultant Phil Newbold, Director of New Bold Design, has under-taken a special needs adaptation of a barn conversion within a Conservation Area. The project aimed to create a wheelchair accessible home, along with ac-commodation for a live-in carer. PERFORMANCE triple glazed timber windows and doors from Green Building Store were chosen for the project.

Installing doors that transform your property into a "forever" home doesn't just improve accessibility for all, it could also increase the value of your property. Cho-osing the best doors for wheelchair access ensures that, whether you're a current wheelchair user, may become one in the future or have differently-abled friends, relations or colleagues, they are all able to access your property easily and safely.
