wheelchair access doorways
What is the smallest door I can install for wheelchair access. Is it 850mm
clear access? If 850mm clear access what would the size of the acutal door be? Where are the Building regs for Wheelchair access found? Also I would like to know what standard door sizes are available in the UK? Sid |

It varies - basically the clear width will be the width of the door less its thickness (35/44mm) less the width of the door stop (12mm or so) Where are the Building regs for Wheelchair access found? Also I would like to know what standard door sizes are available in the UK?

On re-reading, the 900/800 look more like corridoor widths than door widths. There are a number of diareans for sizes for getting round corners etc .... Rick |
