New Accessible Design Products for Fall 2019
30º Enviro Series
This multistation sink system from Just Manufacturing is an elegant all-in-one solution for wheelchair maneuverability in places like hotels, restaurants, and schools. The 30º Enviro Series wall-hung bathroom sink is designed to meet ADA guidelines for 27" knee clearance and 34" counter heights. Because its form is continuous welded stainless steel, it installs more easily than many deck-and-sink combinations. It also comes with sensor, lever, and one-hand touch faucets.
Plateau
Designed to seat groups of eight, Plateau features a tabletop flanked by communal benches shaped like parentheses to comfortably accommodate a wheelchair at either end. The seats and table are built from powder- coated galvanized steel and topped in a UV-, weather-, and graffiti-resistant high-pressure laminate that can be specified in six colors, including Corro (shown).
STS-K020
By incorporating hearing aid technology, Contacta enhanced its new STS-K020 intercom for everyone. Designed to augment communication through security partitions in banks, movie theaters, and government offices, the new intercom includes an ADA-approved hearing loop. Once installed, the device can enable clear sound for all users.
Slip-No-More
To improve safety without sacrificing design, sintered-stone manufacturer Neolith has developed a new anti-slip treatment that can be specified on all of its slabs when used for flooring. To ensure long-lasting traction, the manufacturer applies the anti-skid treatment to the material during the production process, before firing the stone.
