Reduced grip
Threshold ramp for uPVC door
A common problem when providing wheelchair access to a uPVC door is getting over the often quite high threshold.

The board was 1.5m square and was constructed with a metal sandwich so that magnetic tiles would stick to it, this was mounted on a wall.
Each tile was 85mm square, has raised, tactile, characters and with a handle that can be gripped using a grabber.
The tiles and positioning corners were 3D printed.
