Aluminum is always the superior choice when it comes to material for stairs, ramps and accessibility systems for school buildings in Orange County, Florida. Not only is aluminum more affordable than steel, it also won’t warp or rot like wood. Regardless of how hot or cold the outside temperature may get, you can always touch aluminum without the slightest amount of discomfort. REDD Team is ready to provide the products you need to ensure safe access to everyone, no matter what kinds of physical limitations they may have.
Who is REDD Team?
Headquartered in Delhi, LA, REDD Team is the undisputed leader in accessibility system components such as stairs, ramps, walkways, platforms and more. Since we’re part of the global leader in aluminum extrusion, Hydro, we have a nearly unlimited supply of this incredible material.
We make all of our products using aluminum treated with special alloys. These alloys make our aluminum just as strong as steel, and just as tough. Heavy Florida rainstorms can make steel and wooden stairs and ramps dangerously slippery. However, that will never be a concern with aluminum. The reason is aluminum drains extremely efficiently. We also add special non-slip surfaces to add an extra layer of safety.
In addition, we have a wide range of sizes from which to choose. If you have specific needs, we can provide you with a custom product that will meet them perfectly. All of our accessibility system components are compliant with the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA), and also meet or exceed all other accessibility mandates. Whether you have portable buildings or permanent, site-built structures, you can use our ramps and stairs with complete confidence.
Anyone who needs a mobility aid, such as a cane, crutches, a wheelchair, a scooter, or anything else, will be able to easily enter and exit your buildings when you use our accessibility products.
Planning for ADA Compliance
You are probably well aware that your facility must be ADA-compliant. The consequences of non-compliance are incredibly severe, including major fines and possibly legal action. If you have an older campus, achieving compliance can be a challenge, to say the least.
According to ADA mandates, all school buildings much have entrances that are accessible to not only students and faculty members, but also the general public. But if your building was constructed before 1990 (when the ADA became law), it probably wasn’t built with accessibility as a top priority.
Your school might still have its original steps, which can still be used. However, there might be enough space where you can add an ADA-compliant ramp that leads to a parking lot. If space is a problem, then you might need to construct a different entrance that people with special needs can use.
At REDD Team, we are experts in stairs, ramps and accessibility systems for school buildings in Orange County, Florida. We’re also experts in all things that involve complying with the ADA. If you have any questions whatsoever about what you need to do to achieve compliance, or you’d like more information about our products, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
