School building accessibility is a critical consideration for all school districts. Making this even more challenging is the fact that regulations can often change. Let REDD Team help make sure all of your school buildings are in complete compliance will all state mandates.
Why Partner With REDD Team?
REDD Team is part of Hydro Extrusion North America, a subsidiary of Hydro, the biggest aluminum extrusion company in the world. We have a great deal of experience helping school districts navigate the complexities associated with California Building Code Chapter 11B. This is the code that not only regulates accessibility to school buildings, but also other public buildings, as well as commercial buildings, public accommodations, and public housing.
We produce aluminum access systems, such as wheelchair ramps and stairs, pedestrian bridges and more. All of our products comply with the California Division of State Architect, or DSA. The DSA oversees the design and construction of public schools as well as other state-owned or leased facilities, helping to ensure they’re not only safe, but also accessible.
REDD Team products are all manufactured in the United States, in our Delhi, LA extrusion facility.
REDD Team’s Universal Stair and Universal Wheelchair Ramp Accessibility Systems
We offer high quality, durable products that make it much easier for people with physical challenges to access schools and other vital buildings. In addition to those in wheelchairs, our ramps help those using walkers, canes, crutches or scooters. Our lightweight, durable products not only offer unsurpassed safety, they also require practically no maintenance.
These are just a few of the features included in our Universal Stair and Universal Wheelchair Ramp products:
- Adjustability – The height and slope of our products can be changed whenever needed.
- Ease of installation – REDD Team products can be quickly assembled and installed without the need for field welding.
- Modular design – Our stairs and wheelchair ramps can be customized to fit your exact space requirements.
- Durability – Aluminum is an extremely durable material, made to withstand the elements.
- Safety – Our slip-resistant walking surfaces and smooth handrails provide a safe, secure environment for people experiencing issues that affect their mobility.
Our Universal Wheelchair Ramp can handle large volumes of traffic, day in and day out. It can also be quickly installed over existing concrete stairs, and can easily be moved should the need ever arise. This flexibility isn’t possible with wood ramps, which need to be disassembled should they need to be relocated.
The Aluminum Advantage
Accessibility systems come in many different types of materials. But products made from wood, steel or concrete simply don’t compare to aluminum. These are just some of the reasons aluminum is the superior option.
- Flexibility – Aluminum accessibility products are not anchored to the ground. As a result, they can easily withstand shifts in the ground without losing their structural integrity.
- Aesthetics – Stairs and ramps are naturally attractive, and can be built in a variety of different colors. They feature an oxide coating that helps them resist corrosion and rust much better than steel.
- Strength – Even though aluminum is a very lightweight material, it’s also exceptionally strong. For example, the typical aluminum stairs can support more than eight times their weight. A 200-pound stairway can easily handle 1,600 pounds. In addition, since because aluminum weighs nearly three times less than steel, it can easily be moved.
