Low threshold or standard height threshold? What are the differences and benefits of each?
Low threshold and standard height threshold refer to the height of the entry lip or sill at a doorway or shower entrance. A low threshold is designed to be closer to the floor, often only a few centimeters high. This design makes it easier for people with mobility limitations, such as those using wheelchairs or walkers, to enter without stepping over a high barrier. It also reduces the risk of tripping and is commonly used in accessible bathrooms and entryways.
Standard height thresholds are higher, typically several centimeters above the floor. They can provide better water containment in showers, help with insulation and soundproofing at doorways, and sometimes offer a more traditional appearance. However, they may present a challenge for people with limited mobility and can increase the risk of tripping.
The choice between low and standard height thresholds depends on your specific needs, such as accessibility requirements, safety concerns, and design preferences.
