Accessible Elegance: Railing Systems + ADA Code Compliance
About the Provider
Livers Bronze is one of the last remaining U.S.-based handrailing manufacturers and has been in business since 1946. Every aspect of design, manufacturing, and testing is performed in the Midwest by skilled craftsmen, most of whom have been with Livers for decades. Livers Bronze offers the widest array of designs on the market, from traditional to modern, with every style in-between. Livers Bronze handrailings are the systems of choice for architects who want to leave their mark on museums, libraries, offices, and theaters with the help of decorative and functional, glass and metal handrails.
Learning Objectives:
- Determine the specific conditions that mandate the installation of ADA-compliant handrails for various environments, including stairways and ramps, to ensure compliance with accessibility regulations.
- Clearly outline the required dimensions, such as height, width, and clearance, for ADA-compliant handrails and explain how these measurements contribute to creating accessible and user-friendly spaces.
- Analyze key railing specifications, including material selection, gripping surfaces, and installation standards, while reviewing how these aspects align with broader ADA code requirements.
- Assess the specific requirements for railings on ADA-compliant ramps and stairs, focusing on details like slope, landing, and handrail continuity to ensure structures meet accessibility standards.
