A small step or uneven tile at a doorway might feel like nothing when you’re young and mobile. For someone using a wheelchair, walker or even just unsteady on their feet, that same little bump can be a real obstacle.
Level transitions—where one surface meets another smoothly—make moving from room to room much easier and safer. Even using a small ramp instead of a sharp step can make the whole house more accessible.
Thinking about this once, during flooring decisions, can make the home friendlier for elders, guests with mobility challenges, or even yourself in the future.
