Description
This aluminium reducer profile is designed to provide a smooth, safe transition between floor coverings of different heights, particularly where a 6mm ramp is required for wheelchair access. Its robust 76mm width and 8.5mm overall depth create a gentle slope that helps to minimise trip hazards and improves accessibility on stairways, corridors and entrance areas.
Manufactured from high quality anodised aluminium, this reducer offers a durable and professional finish suitable for commercial, public and residential environments. It supports compliance with accessibility guidance by easing the level change between surfaces, making it ideal for use in DDA-focused installations, ramps, stair nosings and other safety-critical applications.
Product Features
- Aluminium reducer profile for 6mm floor height transitions and wheelchair access.
- Generous 76mm face width for a broad, stable and clearly defined ramped edge.
- Approximate 8.5mm overall depth providing a gentle, user-friendly gradient.
- Anodised aluminium finish for enhanced corrosion resistance and a smart appearance.
- Suitable for use with a wide range of floor coverings, including vinyl, laminate and low-profile tiles.
