As the population ages, more and more elderly people suffer from chronic diseases or decline in physical function. The design of accessible kitchens aims to solve the difficulties these users face in operation, personal safety and comfort. The design innovation of
wheelchair accessible kitchen sink is to find user problems from the perspective of barrier-free. Only by fully understanding user needs can the product benefit more people.
We investigated some inconveniences or needs of people with disabilities when using the kitchen. This is the feedback from a disabled person. He said: "First of all, I think it is better not to put a storage cabinet with a door under the Kitchen countertops so that the wheelchair can drive directly in, otherwise there is no place to put the legs. Secondly, the height of the countertops should be customized according to user needs or designed to be adjustable in height, because people with disabilities may have lower height requirements than normal people. Pay special attention to the height of the kitchen sink. If the bottom is too low, the wheelchair may not be able to enter. The third part is the height of the socket."
The
Height Adjustable Kitchen Sink in the accessible kitchen can significantly improve the work and life quality of people with disabilities and enhance their happiness and satisfaction. For example, a disabled person can cook in the kitchen with his own hands. This transformation can not only reduce the burden of family care but also make them more independent and confident so that people with disabilities can participate in social life more freely.
One of the core goals of the
accessible kitchen sink is to provide convenience for people with limited mobility, including wheelchair users. For example, the disabled person above hopes that the kitchen sink and stove can be customized according to user needs or designed to be height-adjustable. Our wheelchair accessible kitchen sink has enough legroom underneath to facilitate wheelchair users to enter and exit. These barrier-free products help people with disabilities use the kitchen more conveniently, safely and comfortably, enhance their independence, and thus relieve their psychological anxiety.
How to Choose a Kitchen Sink Suitable for Wheelchair Users?
In modern society, with the aging population and the increasing number of people with physical disabilities, kitchen sinks designed for wheelchair users are becoming more and more important. A suitable kitchen sink can not only improve the quality of life of wheelchair users but also make it more convenient for them to carry out kitchen work.
Height adjustable kitchen sink
The height adjustable kitchen sink is ideal for wheelchair users. We have developed a height adjustable sink for the kitchen, which uses an adjustable height lifting column design with a stroke of 250mm and a minimum height of 700mm, suitable for any wheelchair user and children. This design makes the sink easy to reach and use, which is very convenient and avoids the inconvenience caused by bending or stretching the body.
Spacious operating space
In addition to the design of the sink itself, the operating space around it is also very important. Make sure there is enough space around the sink so that wheelchair users can operate the sink freely without being restricted by surrounding objects. Our height-adjustable kitchen sinks can be customized with countertops of different sizes according to customer needs, fully meeting customer needs, and customized height can save kitchen sink space.
Easy-to-operate faucet
