Thresholds of external doors should be flush. If a threshold is unavoidable it should be no more than 15mm high and bevelled to prevent the wheelchair from jarring. Metal thresholds, which have compressible rubber strips, are most suitable.
Thresholds should not generally be provided at internal door openings as they inhibit free movement in a wheelchair. Shower room doors are the exception and should have a threshold strip with rubber insert, bedded in mastic.
Low profile cover strips should be used at the edge of sheet or tile flooring.
Our range of frame and 1 hour fire-rated door edge protection covers can prevent wear on door edges, particularly fire doors from wheelchairs and trolleys.
