Adaptable sinks and worktops are key areas in which kitchens can be made more accessible to the disabled, it has been claimed.The Kitchen Bathroom and Bedroom Specialist Association (KBSA) claimed that as yet there was not enough understanding of the needs of disabled people in the kitchen, with plenty of tailored design potential ready to be tapped.The KBSA claimed that there were over ten million disability sufferers across the UK, making it essential to adapt worktop heights and appliance functions to the convenience of those in wheelchairs and suffering other mobility restrictions.Compact kitchen design trends, featuring the type of space-efficient sinks offered by Astracast and Franke, are often hailed as a solution to reduced mobility, but sister group to the KBSA, Design Matters Kitchen Bathroom and Bedroom (DMKBB) proposed even more tailored design.The dmkbb.co.uk site featured a revamp of the Spinal Injuries Association head-quarters, which showcased a kitchen tailored for wheelchair users with adjustable worktop heights.A touch of the button was claimed to be sufficient to bring the kitchens worktops down or back up to the requisite level, with the site claiming that convenient solutions for individual needs were possible with shrewd kitchen design.
