Accessible Building Products Directory Release Set for IBS
The 17th edition of the NAHB Research Center's popular “Directory of Accessible Building Products” will be released at the 2007 International Builders' Show to assist builders and remodelers in meeting the housing needs of older adults and home owners with special physical needs.
The directory provides product information for aging-in-place and universal design, which enables home buyers and home owners to live comfortably, safely and independently in their homes, for as long as possible.
The directory contains useful information on more than 200 commercially available products, including kitchen and bath products, appliances and fixtures. Also included is information on home automation, climate control products, stair lifts and accessible floor plans.
“As the number of aging Americans in the population continues to grow, the home building industry must gain a greater understanding of how to accommodate the specialized needs of this evolving market segment,” said NAHB Research President Michael Luzier. “The directory is a must-have reference for all builders and remodelers.”
With generous sponsorship from Lowe’s, NAHB’s 50+ Housing Council and the NAHB Remodelors™ Council, the 2007 directory is available through www.ToolBase.org/dabp or by calling 800-638-8556. There is no charge for the directory, only a $6.50 shipping and handling fee.
Manufacturers interested in listing their accessible products in the "2008 Directory of Accessible Building Products," or Certified Aging in Place Specialists (CAPS) professionals needing multiple copies for distribution, should contact the Research Center.
