Overview:
Located in Salt Lake City, Utah, the home design incorporates many Universal Design elements such as step-free entrances and no conspicuous ramps. Many doors are built 36 inches wide to easily accommodate a wheelchair or walker and do not include thresholds.
Need:
The homeowners needed to find a wheelchair-friendly screen solution for their doorways that would provide insect protection without blocking access to the house.
Solution:
With an ability to cover large openings and completely retract, Phantom’s Distinction retractable screens are well-suited for maintaining the Universal Design attributes of the home’s wide doors. The low, smooth threshold of Distinction Screens allows to easily roll the wheelchair over the track. One large screen covers the whole doorway, retracting out of sight when not in use.
