This ramp reducer profile provides a safe, gradual transition between floor coverings of differing heights, helping to minimise trip hazards and improve accessibility. Manufactured from durable anodised aluminium, it is designed to bridge height differences in the 5–7 mm range over a 2.7 m length, making it ideal for busy commercial and public environments.

Fully compliant with the requirements of the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) and relevant access guidance, this ramp reducer supports inclusive design by easing movement for wheelchair users, people with pushchairs, and those with reduced mobility. Available in practical height options around 5 mm, 7 mm, 10.5 mm and 15 mm, it can be selected to suit a wide variety of floor build-ups and edge details.

Product Features

• DDA-compliant ramp reducer profile for safe transition between uneven floor levels.
• Manufactured from robust anodised aluminium for long-lasting performance and corrosion resistance.
• Standard 2.7 m length, suitable for most corridor, doorway and threshold applications.
• Available in a choice of practical heights, including low-level options around 5 mm and 7 mm and higher options around 10.5 mm and 15 mm for more pronounced floor build-ups.
• Designed to provide a smooth bevelled edge between hard floor coverings such as vinyl, laminate, wood and tiles.
• Pre-formed ramp angle for comfortable passage of wheeled traffic, including trolleys and wheelchairs.
• Can be drilled and mechanically fixed or bonded using a suitable adhesive, depending on substrate and site conditions.

Key Features and Benefits

Specifications

Applications and Ideal Uses

This DDA-compliant ramp reducer is suited to a wide range of commercial, public and residential projects where a safe, neat transition is required between different floor levels.

• Entrance lobbies and reception areas where floor coverings meet at different heights.
• Corridors and circulation routes in offices, schools, hospitals and public buildings.
• Doorways and thresholds between adjacent rooms or floor finishes.
• Retail and hospitality environments requiring accessible, trip-resistant floor transitions.
• Residential adaptations to improve access for wheelchair users and those with reduced mobility.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this ramp reducer be cut to a shorter length on site?

Yes, the 2.7 m profile can be cut to the required length using appropriate metal-cutting tools, ensuring all cut edges are deburred before installation.

Is this profile suitable for wheelchair traffic?

Yes, when correctly selected to match the floor height difference and installed in line with good practice, the ramped design provides a smooth transition suitable for wheelchair and other light wheeled traffic.

How do I choose the correct height option?

Measure the difference between the finished floor levels and select the ramp reducer height that most closely matches this dimension. For example, smaller differences suit the 5 mm or 7 mm options, while greater changes may require the 10.5 mm or 15 mm profile.
