Consider aluminum as your material of choice instead of wood and mild steel for stairs, ramps, and other accessibility systems for school buildings in San Diego, California. Aluminum has many qualities that make it a better alternative, such as its lighter weight, strength, excellent thermal conductivity, resistance to rust and corrosion, and affordability.
REDD Team is a product brand of Hydro Extrusion North America, part of the world’s largest aluminum extrusion company. Manufactured in the USA at Hydro’s Delhi, Louisiana extrusion facility, REDD Team offers aluminum stair and ramp solutions in standard and custom configurations.
We build our access systems from 6000 series aluminum and alloys 6061-T6, 6063-T5 or 6063-T6 for structural strength and toughness. They are equipped with smooth, continuous handrails and a slip-resistant walking surface for safe and easy access. They are available in custom lengths and sizes with adjustable heights for greater versatility.
REDD Team Universal Stairs are constructed of fabricated aluminum. They are ADA-compliant and meet the requirements of other codes, such as IBC, SREF, and Life Safety 101, as well as with the regulations of California’s Division of the State Architect (DSA), which governs the construction of buildings in California and promotes accessibility. They provide. access to portable classrooms as well as site-built and modular buildings, and are ideal for both long- and short-term applications.
REDD Team Universal Wheelchair Ramps enable you to meet ADA guidelines and are excellent for students, teachers, and others who use wheelchairs, scooters, or who struggle with stairs. Ramps are also essential for wheelchair users when there are no elevators available to connect different levels.
Use Universal Stairs and Universal Wheelchair Ramps for access to portable classrooms and other site-built or modular buildings on campus, such as administrative offices, gymnasiums, libraries, etc. Take them apart easily, relocate them and reassemble them in different configurations wherever you need them.
ADA Compliant Schools Take Planning
Since the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) became law in July of 1990, there have been several revisions, some of which clarified specific building codes for schools, including parking regulations, drop-off areas, and the number of required accessible entrances. However, making sure that schools, especially older ones, are ADA-compliant is a challenge.
ADA regulations require schools to have entrances that are accessible to all students. This is often a challenge in older schools that were built without accessibility in mind. Many older schools have steps leading to the front door. In some cases, there may be enough space to build a sloped walkway from the street or parking lot up to the door. In other cases, however, the school may need to install a new entrance on a different side of the building to accommodate people with special needs.
We recommend working with an expert in the area of ADA compliance, such as REDD Team, and take advantage of our Universal Stairs and Universal Wheelchair Ramps.
