Detail design focuses on safety and convenience

According to Yu Zhong, a director of the junior director of the company, compared with ordinary decoration, the design of the old mansion should take care of the safety and convenience of daily operations of the elderly from the details. Therefore, before the renovation, the client should communicate with the designers more and let the designer fully understand. The physical condition and actual needs of the elderly.

In order to ensure that the elderly, especially those in wheelchairs, can move easily, indoor floors should avoid changes in height and height, such as thresholds and steps. Even if there is a change in the ground, you should use a small slope to make the transition. Since the capabilities of the elderly may be degraded in various aspects, changes in the color of the ground may cause the elderly to make wrong judgments about the level of the ground and affect normal walking. For the sake of safety, the ground color should be as uniform as possible. In the hall, living room, bedroom, bathroom, etc., some auxiliary armrests with diameters and heights of 4 cm and 90 cm may be provided at intervals, and the material is preferably waterproof wood to facilitate the elderly walking.

In the design of the bedroom, Cheng Feng, senior designer of the industry peak, believes that the elderly often have poor quality sleep, and some elderly people often get up at night to go to the toilet, in order to avoid affecting the rest of the wife, according to need, the bedroom design should consider the old couple to sleep in bed Happening. It is best not to use a bathtub in the bathroom to avoid the danger of the elderly slipping in the bathtub. Showers and entrance halls should be equipped with rest facilities for the elderly to rest when they suddenly feel dizzy.

If the kitchen uses double-lined cabinets, two rows should ensure the rotation of the wheelchair. Taking into account the characteristics of the height of the elderly, the height of the cabinet countertops is preferably 75-80 cm. If you consider the use of wheelchair users, the table top should not be more than 75 centimeters, and the height of the cabinet to the bottom of the cabinet should be 1.2 meters to 1.4 meters. In order to facilitate elderly people in wheelchairs to operate near countertops, stoves and the lower part of the pool should be left empty. In addition, for the convenience of the elderly, the number of drawers can be appropriately increased, and the use of hydraulic stays and other switches that require greater force should be avoided as much as possible. The handles of the hanging cabinets can be adjusted downwards, and the handles of the cabinets can be appropriately adjusted.

The door is best to use sliding doors. The lower track should be embedded in the ground to avoid height difference; the swing door should pay attention to leave a space of about 50 cm on one side of the handle to allow the elderly person in the wheelchair to open the door sideways. If you need to use a wheelchair in the room, you should make collision avoidance of the wall and corner within a height of 20-30 cm.
