Creating a safe home for people with mobility issues is extremely important. You never want to visit someone in a wheelchair and discover that their chair won’t roll over a threshold or has become stuck in the hallway. Situations like this are very troublesome for everyone involved, especially the person stuck in the chair. The addition of a wheelchair ramp to the porch or deck is just as important as ensuring ease of movement throughout the home. Let’s look at what it takes to build a wheelchair safe ramp.
If you talk to some homeowners about implementing home automation or smart home technology, their first thought might be that it is too expensive. While some smart home technology products are costly, there are still plenty of good reasons to consider making these changes. Anything that contributes to your comfort is a plus, and this is one of the advantages of this type of technology. The other thing is they pay for themselves over time.
One of the most appealing aspects of smart home technology is that it gives the homeowner more control. Green technology is also becoming a major focus of this industry, as our Autoslide units require very little power for smooth operation and they close behind you. Automatic closing is extremely important for families with children who forget to close doors behind them or elderly family members who find it cumbersome to turn to close the door. This is an investment that will continue to pay off for many years.
Nearly everyone knows about the automatically opening doors in Star Trek. A ring of the doorbell and a voice command such as, “Enter,” opened the doors and visitors were allowed entry. Today’s doors are very similar but not quite as advanced as those on the USS Starship Enterprise. We will continue to improve the doors as technological advances allow. You never know, we could end up with some pretty awesome automatic sliding doors.
