ADA compliant kitchen cabinets

What Are The ADA Accessibility Requirements?

ADA is a piece of regulation that aims to improve accessibility for access-challenged individuals. The ADA is typically only used in commercial venues to ensure accessibility needs are met for access-challenged individuals. However, ADA compliant kitchen cabinets can help homeowners with various tasks. Here are some essential items to remember when building an ADA-compliant kitchen:

• Workspace: Keep a 30” area of unobstructed counter space to allow for easy use and access.
• Sink: The sink must be unobstructed and positioned 28-34 inches above the floor.
• Clearance: A wheelchair must be able to navigate the area freely.
• Cabinets: ADA cabinets are ideal for helping meet the ADA requirements of 50% shelf space accessible.
• Appliances: Your kitchen needs to have a clear floor space of 30×48 inches forward.

ADA Kitchen Layout

There are several types of kitchen layouts, and each type of layout has several requirements to comply with ADA. Here are a few kitchen layouts and specifics that you will need to consider:

• Pass-Through Kitchen:
  • ADA cabinets on both sides of the kitchen.
  • Pass through kitchens must have two entrances.
  • Clearance between base cabinets must be at least 40 inches.
• U-Shaped Kitchen:
  • Encloses three sides of the kitchen.
  • Space between ADA cabinets must be at least 60 inches.
