ADA Compliance

Adherence to the Americans with Disabilities Act standards that govern accessible kitchen design. ADA-compliant kitchens include lowered countertop sections (34 inches maximum), knee space under sinks and cooktops, D-shaped or loop cabinet pulls instead of knobs, side-by-side refrigerators, and wall ovens installed at accessible heights. ADA guidelines ensure kitchens are safe and functional for people with mobility challenges or wheelchair users.
