Buying a Rubber Threshold Aid: Everything You Need to Know
Are you looking for a rubber threshold aid? Then you will soon discover that there are many different types of rubber threshold aids available. Whether you are looking for a threshold aid with straight sides, sloping sides, a budget option or a custom threshold aid, Hulpmedi always has a suitable solution for your situation. In this article we explain what types of rubber threshold aids there are, their advantages, and what you should pay attention to when buying a rubber threshold aid.
Why Choose a Rubber Threshold Ramp?
Although threshold aids are available in other materials such as metal or wood, rubber offers unique advantages. Below is an overview of the most important advantages of rubber threshold aids:
-
Low noise : Rubber absorbs sound, ideal for indoor use.
-
Easy installation : It is often sufficient to simply lay down the threshold aid.
-
Directly customised : Rubber threshold aids do not need to be assembled.
-
Flexible and editable : Small adjustments are easy to make on site.
Types of Rubber Threshold Aids
Rubber Threshold Aid With Straight Sides
These threshold aids are perfect for bridging small height differences indoors. Thanks to the sloping edge up to 0 mm, they are suitable for a wide range of aids, such as:
-
Wheelchairs
-
Rollators
-
Triple chairs
-
Mobility scooters
In addition, rubber threshold aids with straight sides are also suitable for means of transport such as pallet trucks, hand trucks and forklifts. This variant is available in lengths up to 4 meters, which makes it possible to order a custom threshold aid.
Rubber Threshold Aid With Sloping Sides
For situations where driving up or down from any angle is necessary, a rubber threshold aid with sloping sides offers a solution. This type of threshold aid is very suitable for:
-
Rollators
-
Wheelchairs
-
Mobility scooters
-
Pallet trucks and hand trucks
The slanted sides provide extra comfort and ease of use. In the Hulpmedi range you will find standard sizes, but we also offer custom-made threshold aids.
Budget Rubber Threshold Aid
Are you looking for an affordable solution? A budget rubber threshold aid is ideal for larger height differences. This variant has sloping sides, a slightly steeper ramp and a small raised edge. This makes this threshold aid less suitable for aids with small wheels, but perfect for electric wheelchairs and mobility scooters.
Custom Rubber Threshold Aid
Rubber is a flexible material, which makes it easy to edit and adjust. A custom rubber threshold aid is ideal when:
-
A corner needs to be cut out, for example in a door frame.
-
The threshold aid must be shortened for a narrow doorway.
-
Multiple threshold aids must be linked together to bridge larger areas.
What to Look for When Purchasing a Rubber Threshold Ramp?
When purchasing a rubber threshold ramp, there are a number of things to consider:
-
Height difference : Measure the height difference accurately.
-
Intended use : For which aid or vehicle is the threshold aid used?
-
Location : Will the threshold ramp be placed inside or outside?
