Have you been searching for reliable wheelchair ramps in Ireland? Welcome to Irish Stairlifts & Bathrooms, a trusted provider of accessibility and mobility solutions since 1999. With over two decades of experience, we specialise in helping homeowners, businesses, and public facilities create safe, accessible spaces for wheelchair users and those with limited mobility.
Our expert team designs and installs custom-built wheelchair ramps that comply with all health, safety, and building regulations. Each ramp is constructed with meticulous attention to detail to ensure durability, safety, and ease of use.
Why Choose a Wheelchair Ramp?
A properly installed wheelchair ramp offers freedom, independence, and enhanced accessibility. Whether you need to improve entry to your home, office, or public building, a ramp allows smooth and safe movement for wheelchair users, mobility scooter users, and those using walking aids.
Ramps are an essential part of any accessibility plan — ensuring compliance with safety standards while also helping you or your visitors move freely.
Types of Wheelchair Ramps We Provide
At Irish Stairlifts, every ramp is custom-designed to meet your individual needs. Depending on your space and mobility requirements, we can build:
-
Permanent concrete ramps – Ideal for long-term use and outdoor installations. Built for strength, stability, and weather resistance.
-
Modular or portable ramp systems – Suitable for temporary accessibility needs or commercial settings that require flexibility.
-
Threshold ramps – Perfect for small doorsteps or interior-level adjustments within the home.
Our ramps are made with brush-finished concrete, providing an anti-slip surface for maximum safety in all weather conditions. Each slope is designed to be wheelchair compatible and built according to recommended gradients.
Understanding Ramp Gradients and Safety Standards
The ramp gradient (or slope) determines how steep your ramp will be. The recommended ratio is 1:20 where space allows, meaning for every 20mm of length, the ramp rises 1mm. In limited spaces, a 1:12 gradient may be used safely.
Example:
If your step height is 100mm and the gradient is 1:20, multiply 100mm × 20 to get 2000mm (2 metres) ramp length required.
Following these standards ensures the ramp is comfortable and safe for daily use.
Level Platforms and Turning Points
Every accessible ramp must include level platforms at the top and at turning points. These platforms allow users to pause safely and manoeuvre wheelchairs or scooters with ease.
Longer ramps may also include intermediate resting points to ensure maximum safety and comfort.
Handrails, Edgings, and Finishing Details
All of our ramps include custom steel handrails, manufactured to order and finished in an anti-rust paint in a colour of your choice. These rails not only provide safety but also enhance stability for users.
Edgings are added to prevent mobility devices from slipping off the sides. These can be block edgings or integrated into the handrail system. Typically, edgings are 100mm high from the ramp surface to ensure protection.
