Why choose Avenir Renovations?
What is a PMR kitchen?
A PMR kitchen is designed to allow a person in a wheelchair, with a walker, or with mobility difficulties to cook, move around, access equipment, and handle kitchen elements safely. It must combine ergonomics, safety, accessibility, and aesthetics.
Main objectives:
- Facilitate daily movements and actions
- Eliminate obstacles (inappropriate heights, difficult access, fixed furniture)
- Ensure the user's autonomy and safety
- Adapt to physical constraints while maintaining a harmonious design
Key elements of a compliant PMR kitchen
A suitable kitchen must comply with the ergonomic recommendations of the NBN EN 17210 (accessibility of the built environment) and those of the CWATUPE in Wallonia, or the CoBAT in Brussels.
Who is concerned with the fit-out of a PMR kitchen?
- People in wheelchairs
- Older adults or those with reduced autonomy
- Short individuals
- People with balance or grip disorders
- Families wishing to anticipate aging or enhance comfort for everyone
This type of fit-out can be carried out in an existing home, as part of a renovation, or integrated into a new construction project.
