Door Threshold Ramps

## Doorstep Ramps

If you use a wheelchair, a doorstep ramp is essential to bridge the height difference between the floor and the threshold, allowing you to move around your home easily and safely. Here, you can find rubber ramps for doorsteps in various heights, so you can choose the one that suits you best. It's also highly beneficial to install rubber ramps in your home if you use a walker.

## Easily Navigate Your Home with a Doorstep Ramp

Many seniors using wheelchairs or walkers face challenges when moving around their homes or public buildings. One of the most common issues is high thresholds, which can be difficult to cross. Fortunately, there is a simple and effective solution to level the difference between thresholds and floors: doorstep ramps.

A popular type of ramp for wheelchairs is rubber ramps, which are placed in front of the threshold. These ramps are made of durable and flexible rubber, providing good stability and safety. Rubber ramps are non-slip, easy to install, and come in different heights to fit many types of thresholds.

Doorstep ramps are also often referred to as wheelchair ramps, as they can be made from various materials, including aluminum and rubber, each with its benefits. Aluminum ramps are typically lightweight and portable, making them ideal for travel, while rubber ramps are extra non-slip, very sturdy, and suitable for permanent use. All ramps can be used indoors and outdoors.

## Ensure Safety and Security with a Doorstep Ramp

For seniors using a wheelchair or walker, doorstep ramps play a crucial role in ensuring safety and security. By installing a doorstep ramp, dangerous situations of tripping or stumbling over obstacles can be avoided. Doorstep ramps allow for smooth and secure transitions between different levels, reducing the risk of injuries. Additionally, they assist caregivers or relatives in helping seniors without having to lift or carry them, providing gentle assistance for both parties.

## Find the Right Size and Type of Wheelchair Ramp

Are you unsure about which ramp you need for your home? At Seniorshop, we offer three different types of doorstep ramps, and you can read more about their differences here:

### Adjustable Rubber Ramp with Adhesive Tape

This type of rubber ramp is available in various heights with a length of 90 cm. Its unique feature is that the length is adjustable, so it can also fit door frames less than 90 cm. Simply trim the ramp with a utility knife—it's easy to do, and you can see how to do it for each specific product.

### Rubber Ramp That Requires No Installation

You can also get rubber ramps that only need to be placed in front of the threshold at home. The weight and non-slip nature of the ramp ensure it stays in place. This type of rubber ramp for doorsteps is available in many different heights and has a width of 90 cm. Note that this ramp cannot be trimmed in width, as the edges are rounded. The rounded edges also allow you to drive onto it from the side.

This type of ramp is available in heights ranging from 15 mm to 125 mm.

### Telescopic Ramp in Aluminum

This type of ramp consists of two rails that are placed on doorsteps or other elevations, allowing you to easily roll over with your wheelchair or walker. The telescopic function allows them to be extended and easily retracted after use, making them perfect for travel. Moreover, they are lightweight.
