Accessibility is a key part of modern commercial design. Whether you’re building for an office, medical facility, or retail space, ADA-compliant cabinetry ensures your business is welcoming and usable for everyone. At Delta Woodworks FL, we help South Florida businesses design and install custom cabinets that meet ADA requirements without sacrificing style or function.
Why ADA compliance matters
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requires that public-facing spaces be accessible to individuals with disabilities. Failing to meet these standards can lead to legal issues, lost business, and poor customer experiences.
ADA cabinet guidelines to follow
1. Height and reach
Cabinet handles should be between 15 and 48 inches from the floor. Work surfaces must be no higher than 34 inches.
2. Knee and toe clearance
Base cabinets under sinks or counters should allow for at least 27 inches of vertical knee space and 17–25 inches of depth.
3. Hardware accessibility
Choose handles and pulls that do not require tight grasping or twisting. Lever-style or D-shaped handles work best.
4. Openings and maneuverability
Leave enough space around cabinetry for wheelchair access—usually a 30 by 48-inch clear floor space in front.
